Composition of Good Brick Earth and its Properties thats effect on bricks

Composition of good  Brick Earth
composition in percent properties contribution property on excess 
Silica 50-60% retaining the shape of brick
prevent cracking, shrinkage,
warping of raw brick
destroy the cohession
between particles
and make brick brittle
Alumina 20-30% plasticity to brick weak and warp on
drying of brick
Lime 10% prevent shrinkage on drying melt and brick loose 
its shape
Iron Oxide <7% gives red color
helps lime to fuse with sand
dark blue color
manganese oxide <1% yellow tint color
decrease shrinkage
decay of brick
sulphur oxide
carbon dioxide
very smallspongy, swollen structure
in the brick
decolored by white 
blotches

water

very small
Note
good clay for making the brick is weathered clay.

Alkalies very smallmelt and loose
their shape
Organic matternoneafter burning leaving
pores and make brick
porous
Pebbles, Gravels,
Grits
lesser

weak and porous
not give uniformity 
during mixture
