    This document outlines a procedure to determine the compressive strength and water absorption of bricks. Three brick samples are weighed before and after soaking in water for 30 minutes. Their dimensions are measured and they are then placed in a compression testing machine to determine the maximum load and calculate compressive strength. The percentage of water absorbed by each brick is also calculated using the weights. The results of water absorption and compressive strength for each brick sample are reported.

    Compressive Strength of Brick

    Exp No:
    Date:

    Aim:
    To determine the compressive strength of Brick Sand.
    To find the percentage of water absorbed by the Bricks.

    Apparatus required:

    1. Bricks
    2. Weighing Machine
    3. Compression testing machine
    4. Metric scale

    Formula:

    1. Compressive Strength = Crushing Load (N/mm 2 )/Area

     W 2  W 1 
    2. Percentage water absorbed =    100
     W 1 

    Where,

    W 1
    = Weight of Brick before soaking in water

    W 2
    = Weight of brick after soaking in water

    Procedure:

     Three different Brick blocks were taken and were weighed, then the bricks were
    soaked in water for 30 minutes following which the bricks were weighed again.

     The brick blocks were kept in the compression testing machine and the reading
    corresponding to the maximum load was noted.
    Observation:

    Crushing Compressive
    S.No Brick Dimension W1 W2 % Water Load Strength
    Absorbed (kN) (N/mm 2 )

    1.

    2.

    Model Calculation:

    Weight of Brick before soaking in water, W 1


    =

    Weight of brick after soaking in water, W 2


    =

     W 2  W 1 
    Percentage absorbed =    100 =
     W 1 

    Compressive Strength = Crushing Load /Area =


    Result:

    Percentage water absorbed by:

    1. Brick A =
    2. Brick B =

    The compressive strength of

    1. Brick A =
    2. Brick B =
