Is there anything I can do to stop my bricks from exploding?

I guess what I have is old Chicago bricks all on my walkway. I am also assuming they are porous and water gets trapped inside them and freezes. When it freezes, they break up and basically shatter on the top. Once the top part breaks off, I can see ice inside them.
Is there anything I can do to stop it?

Shotgun 3 beers then consider what to drink next.

I'll give you $100 for that brick

Sealing them with a stone sealer would probably help...

Pave your walkway with Yetis. They will still be around long after the nuclear holocaust.

First you need to get that nasty green stuff washed off and then seal your bricks with commercial grade sealer.

Have the same problems with some on my walk. Most likely "face" brick that are meant to be laid on walls, less surface area and shed water easier. I tried sealing with a common masonry sealant....kinda worked. Had to dig out a few and replace with like bricks. My advice is to find a good supply and just replace as they self destruct....

You can try sealing with siloxane when you are 100% sure they aren't holding any moisture but that prolly still won't do anything
That being said if you try sealing it and there is still moisture inside you are screwed bc you are trapping it in
Used Chicago usually don't pop. Not much you can really do man just hope this shite doesn't happen again
