Abstract

The use of shale in the production of bricks is now getting high momentum in all construction research institutes as a replacement or the Delta Clays. It is well known that many types of shales, when molded and burned under controlled conditions, can produce good and comparative bricks. 
A research project was initiated in Mansoura University jointey with Abou-Tartour phosphate project to study and evaluate the shale materials available in Elwadi-Elgedied 35 raw materials for bricks manufacture. Sixteen different shales were sampled from three areas : Abou-Tartour, Eldekhla and Elkharga. 
This study is presenting the laboratory evaluation of these sixteen shale samples and the potential of their use in bricks production. The geological, chemical, physical and minerological properties of all samples were determined as well as the plastic characteristics of water mixed specimens. Following this, specially molded specimens were tested to determine their strength and volume change before and after controlled burning. 
The results of the study have revealed a very high potential of many whales loud in Elwadı Elgadied for use in the bricks industry. High strength, nonshrinking and moisture resistant bricks can be produced using these materials.  A factory of 10 millions units annual production can be initiated to supply the area with bricks (or at least one hundred years.
