Hey there. So, there is a lack of information on the destruction value of bricks. I did some Google searching in order to try and find the necessary values for brick destruction, especially considering that somehow bricks are WEAKER than stone. From what I can tell, here's what I can gather.
Fragmentation (using the average shear strength of brick-and-mortar masonry): 0.51 j/cc (based on the average value gathered here: http://www.scielo.org.pe/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S2309-04132019000200006 )
Violent Fragmentation (using the compressive strength of brick-and-mortar masonry): 2.81 to 5.65 j/cc (based on this: https://www.ancientportsantiques.com/wp-content/uploads/Documents/ETUDESarchivees/Maçonnerie/CiasaillementMaçonnerie-NAMC-2011.pdf )
Pulverization (using compressive strength of the bricks themselves): 19.28 (https://www.ancientportsantiques.com/wp-content/uploads/Documents/ETUDESarchivees/Maçonnerie/CiasaillementMaçonnerie-NAMC-2011.pdf ) to 24.37 j/cc (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214509520301418 )
Why not add this to the wiki already? Bricks are a very common and thus important material for the Vs Debating environment!
