Fired bricks are on high demand in building constructions because of their cheapness, appearance, robustness, isolation achievement and sustainability. To make fired bricks, Constructions and eco-friendly sector used clay materials. However, the major challenge in their utilization is their thermal and mechanical behavior after exposure. Problems occur mainly when permanently subjected to increased temperature which severely influence its durability, and in this case an overall failure mode calculation is essential. In this work a simple approach based on the Unified Strength Theory (UST) criterion was used to estimate the thermomechanical damage. Results of thermomechanical damage values are shown.
