Abstract

Ceramic bricks have high strength, durability, aesthetic appeal and are one of the most sought-after building materials. Presently dark-colored cladding materials are becoming increasingly popular in the construction industry. Black color of the brick gives the architecture expressiveness: depth, graphic and brutality. It emphasizes the shapes sculptural plasticity, reveals the structures tectonics and creates strong visual contrasting accents. During the research black ceramic stones based on domestic raw materials were obtained with the tanning of color-enhancing components, and their physical and mechanical properties and visual characteristics were studied. It is found that mudstones, which are widespread in Russia, can be used as a promising raw material for the production of black clinker bricks. Based on this raw material with manganese oxide and a color enhancer addition it is possible to obtain a high-strength ceramic stone with specified physico-mechanical and aesthetic characteristics.
