VI. Прочитайте и письменно переведите на русский язык текст BRICKS

Bricks as a structural material were known many thousand years ago and are used as a substitute for other materials found in natural state. Bricks are hard and easily fastened together with the help of mortar which makes them suitable for construction purposes.

It is well-known that bricks are usually extremely durable although they may change in appearance after considerable exposure. The two chief causes of deterioration are frost and crystallization of soluble salts. To a large extent the strength is dependent upon the type of clay used and methods of making, but with most types of bricks there is also a considerable variation according to the temperature at which the bricks are burnt. Where considerable loads have to be carried strong brick is needed, but it should be remembered that the strength of a wall is derived from a combination of brick and mortar. Building regulations define the type of mortar to be used with bricks of varying strength to carry varying loads. Nowadays the majority of bricks are used in non-bearing walls.

A brick building is strong, durable and weather resistant. It has, however, certain disadvantages. First, its foundation requires greater durability and takes up a much larger space than that of a wooden structure and is consequently more expensive. Second, the process of constructing a brick building is very slow and requires much skilled labour on the site. Such limitations of bricks led to the development of steel frame technique which allows an easy assembly of structural parts and makes possible the use of new materials.
