In this study, masonry and its material characteristics such as compressive strength of
masonry prisms, bricks, mortars as well as bond strength (ie, flexural and shear bond …

This article explores the potential of incorporating palm kernel shells (PKS) from palm oil mill
waste as a clay replacement for fired clay bricks. PKS, an abundant byproduct of palm oil …

This paper presents an extensive experimental characterization of Pakistani brick masonry
walls under different brick and mortar typologies. The investigation involves separate tests …

For decades, prisms and wallette have been used to explore masonry's strength and
deformation capabilities under uniaxial compression; moreover, the link between these two …

Lateral loads such as wind and inertial forces from earthquakes are resisted by the bond
strength of brick masonry structures. The consideration of uncertainty in both load and …

In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to predict the fly-ash brick compressive
strength using three easily measurable parameters such as water absorption, initial rate of …

This study presents a new model to estimate the compressive strength of masonry prisms
considering both crashing and splitting failure mechanisms of the masonry prisms. The …

Abstract Fires being a Low-Probability High-Consequence problem, can have a big impact
on the structures due to their occurrence; irrespective of the construction materials. Even, the …

This project reveals about the detailed investigation of eco-friendly interlocking masonry
units. Interlocking between individual units is enabled by providing grooves, male and …
