Bricks are made from clay, baked hard in kilns. If the bricks weren't solid, then building would collapse.
Larger bricks would be harder to transport and provide fewer options when building something.
That would be the force of gravity (from all the weight that the bricks above apply, plus the weight on the building's roof and floors that hang from the bricks.) There would also be the overturning force of wind blowing on the brick wall, or the random, changing forces from an earthquake.

To provide to differential movement of various materials in a building. A classic example would be a concrete frame building with a brick facade. The concrete frame will gradually shrink over time, while the bricks will gradually expand over time. Without expansion joints, the bricks would be crushed by the weight of the building.
Bricks have pores because they are made from concrete and concrete is a porous material. Bricks could be made of non porous materials but then they would require a different, and more expensive, medium to hold one to another, where concrete is now used in building to hold bricks together.
A bill of material - is simply a list of items needed to complete the construction of something. For example - for building a house it would list things like timber, bricks, roofing slates, glass, doors, mortar, sand etc... It would show what materials are needed, the quantities and price.
If the bricks are in feet then 51/2 bricks would be needed.
A group of stones may be called a conglomerate if they are connected. Otherwise it would just be called a pile or a collection of stones.
Many, many things. Steam engines Automobiles Indoor plumbing Bricks A complete list would be huge.
