abstract = "The aim of this study was to test montmorillonite and hydromica type of brick clays by using simultaneous thermal analysis and dilatometry in an assessment of the suitability of brick clays to produce building elements. The plasticity coefficient and drying susceptibility were determined to discover the behavior of brick clays. Fired products' characteristics were studied by performing water absorption and compressive strength tests. All the methods were employed in the construction of the firing curves in a tunnel kiln. The results could increase the degree of certainty to lead the production process towards obtaining the desired features of brick elements.",
