Open Fireplace Design & Construction This publication gives the basic design and construction principles for a typical Australian open fireplace. The construction of a trouble-free fireplace requires careful compliance with a number of proven principles.
RP 0: Predicting the Long-Term Moisture Expansion of Fired Clay Products The literature on moisture expansion of fired clay bodies is briefly reviewed and details are given of a method for accelerating the rate of expansion, which can be completed in 24 hours or less, and gives results which correlate well with the behaviour of similar bricks exposed to ambient conditions for periods up to four years.

RP 10: Study of Pore Size Distributions in Relation to Salt Attack The pore size distribution of fired clay bodies formed by extrusion was studied with the aid of a mercury porosimeter. Pore size distribution does not itself provide an adequate guide for grading these bodies into order of their resistance to soluble salt attack.

RP 11: Determination of Expansion of Non-Kiln-Fresh-Bricks The standard test for predicting the moisture expansion of bricks requires testing to have commenced between 24 and 36 hours after the bricks have been drawn from the kiln. This paper concludes that it is possible to estimate the past and future expansion of a clay brick of any age by refiring specimens at 915°C, measuring the shrinkage induced refiring, and conducting the standard accelerated expansion test.

RP 12: The Performance of Clay Segmental Pavements The pull-out test has been employed for a number of years as a means of assessing the capacity of a segmental pavement. This test, which has been adapted to perform in situ pull-out of pavers in trafficked pavements, has been used to examine the performance of clay pavers. Results are presented from laboratory and field investigations.

RP 15: Unreinforced Masonry Structures Countries such as Australia with lower seismicity can use unreinforced masonry provided correct design and detailing techniques are used and the requirements of the appropriate masonry standards implemented. This paper provides an overview and discusses the impact of the new seismic loading provisions on existing practice.

RP 16: The Moisture Expansion of Bricks and Walls This paper reports a 20 year follow-up study to the original Australian research into the moisture expansion of clay bricks (see RP 0). See also RP 17.

RP 19: The Study of Heat Flows in Masonry Walls in a Thermal Test Building Incorporating a Window A further report on the ongoing study by The University of Newcastle into the thermal performance of masonry (see also RP18). The results indicate that the window becomes the dominant factor when considering thermal performance.
RP 3: Predicting the Compressive Strength of Brickwork The paper reports the results obtained from the use of a computer package to statistically compare brick wall compressive strength with those of the brick and brickwork prism specimens that are commonly used as predictors.

RP 6: Frost Resistance of Clay Brickwork in the Australian Alps Clay brick structures in the Australian Alps were examined to determine their resistance to exposure to frost. It was found that brick quality, type and colour together with the design of the structures were all significant factors influencing the bricks' performance under these exposure conditions.
