LEAL MENEGUS, Alejandro  y  MUCINO VELEZ, Alberto. The Cement Brick, a Material of the Mexican Revolution. A Study of its Historical Value and its Physical Mechanical Properties. Intervención (Méx.

The aim of this study is to recognize the historical importance of the cement brick that came into use in the domestic architecture of Mexico City in the revolutionary period (1910-1920) and to argue why it fell into disuse in such a pronounced way. An inductive-deductive method was used in four steps. It was argued that, although the use of cement brick in the construction of housing in revolutionary Mexico allowed the transition from a more artisanal process to a more technified one, in the end its significance did not transcend time, forgotten by the advent of reinforced concrete.

Palabras llave : cement brick; maximum compression strength; artificial materials; Mexican Revolution; domestic architecture; Mexico City.
