Abstract

Experimental study for the check of compressive strength was carried out by the author on brick prisms of concrete bricks and cement mortar. Concrete brick masonry prisms were tested for mortar proportions of 1:4, 1:3, 1:2, 1:1.5 and 1:1cement to sand, 3 specimens for each proportion were tested. After testing it was concluded that the proportion of cement to sand in mortar do not play any significant role on the ultimate compressive strength of concrete brick masonry.
