Abstract

The aim of this study is to present the results of breaking strength tests for burnt clay bricks from various historical deposits. The native clay bricks production technique is the known method of brick making, particularly in South Asian countries. Numerous studies have been conducted on hand-molded formed bricks. The clay bricks that were considered for the comparative study, were made from four different clays sources. Their breaking strength was determined using for examining the maximum load at failure and the effects were investigated subsequently. The basic objective of this experimental study was to compare the breaking strength of locally fired clay bricks using a novel based completely randomized design via a single factor with four levels of clay sources representing the factors. For this purpose, 24 brick samples were made from four different clay sources while the breaking strength of each sample was measured. Pairwise comparison trials, including Duncan’s multiple range, Newman–keuls, Fisher’s least and Tukey’s tests were conducted. Based on experimental investigations, the results revealed that using analysis of variance at 95% CI, the difference in breaking strength between clay source of Hyderabad (A) and Rawalpindi (B), followed by Kohat (C) and Peshawar (D) was significant and also the difference among the means of these clay courses was significant which clearly exposed that the clay site and chemical composition has a great impression of the breaking strength of the burnt bricks.

Abstract

This study examines how user-generated content, social interactions, and virtual economies impact the Metaverse's changing environment. It offers crucial knowledge for policymakers, stakeholders, and developers of the Metaverse in building interesting and long-lasting virtual worlds. The study surveyed 385 respondents from the South Asian demographic using a Likert rating scale through an online survey. Demographic variables were analyzed using SPSS version 29, focusing on frequency and percentage distribution. Means and standard deviations were calculated for each variable and survey item. The main analysis included multiple regression to evaluate hypotheses regarding the interaction between user-generated content, social interaction, and the virtual economy. User-generated content significantly improves Metaverse environments (= 0.22, p<0.01**), highlighting its crucial part in creating immersive virtual spaces. Metaverse environments bene t from social interactions (=0.16, p<0.01**), fostering involvement and community. In the growth of the Metaverse, virtual economies are extremely important (=0.501, p<0.001***), encouraging user participation and innovation. This research, which uses rigorous statistical analysis and focuses on South Asian demographics, offers novel insights into the metaverse dynamics. It serves as a crucial resource for the Metaverse's future growth and development by guiding developers, stakeholders, and policymakers as they navigate the Metaverse's seemingly limitless potential.
