what is the fragmentation value for brick?

IIRC most modern bricks are made using concrete, so prolly the same as concrete, 6 MPa or 6 J/cc. Google gives me similar results for red clay bricks.

This research pdf however, tells me that the shear strength of a brick is 0.77 that of it's compressive strength. Compressive strength here is 25-65 N/mm^2 or 25-65 MPa, so shear strength (We use low-end shear strength for frag, high-end shear strength or low-end compressive strength for v. frag, and high-end compressive strength for pulv.) is anywhere between 19.25-50.05 MPa (Or J/cc. MPa, J/cc and N/mm^2 are the one and the same).

Thanks !

so ı take a 6 or 19.25?

6 as a low-end, 19.25 as a high-end for frag. Your choice.

Is such information available on the Calculations Page?

Not at the moment, no. At least, not for brick. Concrete has its values laid out tho.

Ah. What prevents it being listed on the page? A lack of verification of its validity? Or is brick just considered THAT redundant alongside concrete?

Neither. We just forgot to actually add it. Spino was originally gonna add it in but he's been inactive as of late.

Ah. Fair enough. Thanks for the information!

so, wall level?
