Strength and durability performance of masonry bricks produced …
The compressive strength of brick is an important material property for structural applications. Generally, an increase in bricks compressive strength will virtually contribute to an increase in the masonry assemblage compressive strength and flexural elastic modulus. The test results marked a difference in the observed strength between …

Compressive Strength and Elasticity of Masonry Prisms with Clay Brick
The compressive strength of the brick prism for the ratio of 1:4 is comparatively high than that of the prisms with the ratios 1:6 and 1:8. For the three-layer prism, the strength decreased by 7.06% by increasing the ratio 1:4 to 1:6. By increasing the sand ratio from 1:6 to 1:8, the compressive strength further decreased by 8.86%. ...
