Clay masonry samples and testing must be as per Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Brick and Structural clay tile ... The compressive strength of masonry is computed in by three steps from prism ...

Therefore the prism was no longer a single entity but was still able to withstand the axial compression stress test. Keywords: structural masonry; bedding mortar; stress-strain behavior; entrained air ...

Consequently, empirical formula has been used for the design of masonry structure. Prisms with and without mortar joint patterns were constructed using FLGQ and country burned clay brick. A detailed ...
