(12) Section 2405 is amended to read as follows:

(a) GENERAL. MASONRY OF UNBURNED CLAY UNITS SHALL NOT BE USED IN ANY BUILDING MORE THAN TWO STORIES IN HEIGHT. THE UNSUPPORTED HEIGHT OF EVERY WALL OF UNBURNED CLAY UNITS SHALL NOT BE MORE THAN 10 TIMES THE THICKNESS OF SUCH WALLS. BEARING WALLS SHALL IN NO CASE BE LESS THAN 10 INCHES. ALL FOOTING WALLS WHICH SUPPORT MASONRY OF UNBURNED CLAY UNITS SHALL EXTEND TO AN ELEVATION NOT LESS THAN 6 INCHES ABOVE THE ADJACENT GROUND AT ALL POINTS.

(b) COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH. THE UNITS SHALL HAVE AN AVERAGE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF 300 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH WHEN TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM C67. ONE SAMPLE OUT OF FIVE MAY HAVE A COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF NOT LESS THAN 250 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH.

(c) MODULUS OF RUPTURE. THE UNIT SHALL AVERAGE 50 POUNDS PER INCH IN MODULUS OF RUPTURE WHEN TESTED ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE:

1. A CURED UNIT SHALL BE LAID OVER (CYLINDRICAL) SUPPORTS TWO INCHES (2") IN DIAMETER, LOCATED TWO INCHES (2") FROM EACH END, AND EXTENDING ACROSS THE FULL WIDTH OF THE UNIT.

2. A CYLINDER TWO INCHES (2") IN DIAMETER SHALL BE LAID MIDWAY BETWEEN AND PARALLEL TO THE SUPPORTS.

3. LOAD SHALL BE APPLIED TO THE CYLINDER AT THE RATE OF 500 POUNDS PER MINUTE UNTIL RUPTURE OCCURS.

4. THE MODULUS OF RUPTURE IS EQUAL TO

3 WL

2 Bd²

W = LOAD OF RUPTURE

L = DISTANCE BETWEEN SUPPORTS

B - WIDTH OF BRICK

D - THICKNESS OF BRICK

MOST CLAYEY LOAMS, EXCEPT THOSE WITH A HIGH CLAY CONTENT ARE SUITABLE, BUT IT IS NOT PRACTICABLE TO MAKE A SELECTION ON THE BASIS OF SOIL ANALYSIS ONLY. SOILS HAVING A HIGH CLAY CONTENT SHRINK OR CRACK BADLY WHEN DRYING, AND SANDY SOILS DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT BONDING MATERIAL TO PREVENT CRUMBLING. NEITHER OF THESE SOLID SHOULD BE USED ALONE FOR BRICK, BUT A VERY GOOD BUILDING MATERIAL CAN BE OBTAINED BY MIXING THE TWO SOLID TOGETHER IN PROPORTIONS THAT WILL OVERCOME THE UNDESIRABLE QUALITIES OF EACH. THE BEST WAY TO DETERMINE THE FITNESS OF A SOIL IS TO MAKE A SAMPLE BRICK AND ALLOW IT TO CURE IN THE OPEN, PROTECTED FROM MOISTURE. IT SHOULD DRY WITHOUT SERIOUS WARPING OR CRACKING.

(e) STABILIZERS. A STABILIZING AGENT SHALL BE USED, AND SHALL BE UNIFORMLY MIXED WITH THE SOIL IN AMOUNTS SUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED RESISTANCE TO ABSORPTION OR "WATERPROOF" THE SOIL, TO CEMENT PARTICLES OF THE SOIL TOGETHER, KEEP THE SOIL FROM SHRINKING OR SWEATING. A LIST OF THE MOST COMMON STABILIZERS ARE:

1. PORTLAND CEMENT & LIME

2. ASPHALT

3. STRAW

4. FLYASH & LIME

5. SODIUM SILICATE

6. SULFITE LIQUOR

7. ALIQUATE 11226 (QUATERNARY AMINE)

8. WOOD ASH

9. RESINS

10. COCONUT OIL

11. TANNIC ACID

12. CATTLE URINE

13. COW DUNG

14. MOLASSES

15. GUN ARABIC

NOTE: DUE TO SO MANY TYPES OF SOIL AND NUMEROUS TYPES OF STABILIZERS, THE ONLY SURE METHOD TO DETERMINE RESULTS IS THRU TESTING.

(f) SAMPLING. EACH OF THE TESTS PRESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE APPLIED TO FIVE UNITS SELECTED AT RANDOM FROM EACH SAMPLE 5000 BRICKS TO BE USED.

(g) MOISTURE CONTENT. THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE UNIT SHALL BE NOT MORE THAN FOUR PERCENT BY WEIGHT.

(h) ABSORPTION. A DRIED FOUR-INCH (4") CUBE CUT FROM A SAMPLE UNIT SHALL ABSORB NOT MORE THAN TWO AND ONE-HALF PERCENT MOISTURE BY WEIGHT WHEN PLACED UPON A CONSTANTLY WATER SATURATED POROUS SURFACE.

AT THE TIME OF LAYING, ALL UNITS SHALL BE CLEAN AND DAMP AT THE SURFACE.

(m) WOOD LINTELS OR TIE BEAMS. SHALL BE MINIMUM SIZE OF SIX INCHES (6") BY TEN INCHES (10") OVERLAPPED, OR SPLICED, AT LEAST SIX INCHES (6") AT ALL JOINTS. ALL JOINTS SHALL HAVE A WALL BEARING OF AT LEAST TWELVE INCHES (12"). WOOD JOISTS, VIGAS, OR BEAMS SHALL BE SPIKED TO THE WOOD TIE BEAM WITH LARGE NAILS OR LARGE SCREWS.
