Bricks and roof tiles, manufacturing and properties

The book « Bricks and roof tiles, manufacturing and properties » written by Michel Kornmann, with the help of CTMNC engineers, is now available in Chinese. From granite to the tiles and bricks, the book reviews the various transformations of the material and describes the properties obtained by the final products.

The book has been translated by Professor Xuanye Zhan, senior engineer, Xi’an Research and design institute of wall and roof materials, in Xi’an, China, who has published previously several papers and books on bricks and roof tiles. Xi’an clay is very famous for the Terracotta army of the first Qin Emperor.

The hard cover book (ISBN 948-7-80227-816-5) includes 360 pages with text, figures and photos.

This book will be of course quite useful for your Chinese speaking readers.

It is also very important for all suppliers of the heavy clay industry who wish to penetrate the Chinese market, the first market in the world with a yearly production estimated to 1.3 billions tons.

The Chinese and the English versions are fully similar and this can help significantly the translation of documents and understanding by the customers.

The English version can be found at the Société de l’industrie minérale (Paris) www.lasim.org.

The Chinese version is available at the China Building Materials Industry Publishing House (Beijing) www.jccbs.com.cn .at a price of 70 Yuans.
