Soil samples used in bricks production and brick samples were collected from six factories working in order at the present. As a result of the test on these samples, it was investigated that Ferhat and Has brick factories used comparatively fine materials while Tolga brick factory used loamy materials. The thicknesses of all products of the factories were lower than 0,76 cm, which was considered to be quite low according to the Standards. As a result of the test on the sample bricks, average pressure resistant of the samples were between 24,21-38,20 kg/cm(2). All products of the factories except Tolga were found to satisfy the standards in the aspect of pressure resistance. As fort he bulk density, critical lime and magnesium rates, brick samples of all factories were suitable. Bricks of Has and Ferhat factories were not suitable in the aspect of freezing resistance.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBrickSoilPhysical And Mechanical PropertiesStandardsArticle313240N/AWOS:000453141500006
