Traditional clay bricks exhibit good stability against environmental conditions and are an economical alternative compared to other construction materials. Furthermore, clay bricks have better mechanical properties than autoclaved aerated concrete and pumice blocks but poorer thermal insulation properties; hence, their use in buildings is becoming increasingly unfavourable. This study focused on developing porous lightweight clay bricks with relatively better thermal insulation properties using a replication method.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBrickReplicationPorosityThermal insulationArticle54116917510.1007/s41779-017-0138-32-s2.0-85041323746Q2WOS:000423602600019Q3
