Masonry construction with interlocking bricks could effectively reduce construction time,
minimize labour cost and improve construction quality. Existing interlocking bricks are mostly …

Brick masonry is being replaced by other lightweight compatible materials in the walls,
however, it is still being used. Almost all the old structures comprise of load-bearing as well …

This study presents experimental and numerical research on the in-plane behavior of
unreinforced confined masonry walls retrofitted using engineered cementitious composite …

This study investigates the microstructural characteristics and mechanical strength of vibro-
compacted interlocking concrete blocks, with a particular focus on incorporating image …

Owing to the absence of confined columns, unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are
seismically vulnerable during an earthquake. Hence, this study aims to improve the seismic …

Interlocking brick masonry has gained much attention due to its high construction efficiency
and low labour skill requirement. Most designs of interlocking bricks only use interlocking …

Mortar-less construction with interlocking bricks has many advantages, such as improved
construction efficiency and relatively low requirements on labour skills. Nevertheless, the …

Interlocking bricks could improve construction efficiency, reduce labour cost, and provide
better mechanical performance for masonry structures. Nevertheless, the shear properties of …

This paper presents the results of techno-economic and environmental performance of
interlocking and conventional bricks used for building wall production. Techno eco-efficiency …

Block imperfections exist inevitably owing to manufacturing and construction quality control.
For dry-stacked interlocking block structures, imperfections result in small gaps randomly …
