Compression Test of Brick

The document describes a compression test performed on different types of bricks to determine their compressive strength, including clay bricks, sand-cement bricks, and concrete blocks. It provides the mass, dimensions, and compressive strengths of Samples A and B of each material type. The objective of the test was to measure the compressive strength of the various bricks according to British standard BS 3921:1985.

OBJECTIVE

To determine the
compressive strength
of clay brick,concrete
block and sand-
cement brick
BASIC CONCEPT according to BS
3921:1985
Compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of
masonry are significant parameters when considering
structural masonry design.Masonry units are produced
from clay,concrete and calcium silicate.All units have
broadly similar uses although their properties differ
depending on the raw materials and the method of
manufacture.The selection of a particular type of unit for
any given structure is also dependent on
strength,durability,adhesion,fire resistance,thermal APPARATUS
properties,acoustic properties and aesthetics.
