Brick Masonry Types Advantages Disadvantages
Disadvantages of brick masonry Time-consuming manufacturing process. Brick masonry cannot be used in a high seismic zone. Bricks have very low tensile strength. Since bricks absorb water easily it causes fluorescence when not exposed to air. A rough surface of bricks can cause mould to grow if not cleaned properly.

Most fired clay brick do not greatly contribute towards the efflorescence problem. The next source for soluble salts would be the sand used in the mortar and grout. Contaminated sands with soluble alkali sulfates will cause efflorescence unless the sulfates are removed. Using clean washed sand will eliminate any efflorescing contribution.
