Book excerpt: Excerpt from Compressive Strength of Clay Brick Walls Tests of walls built of sand-lime brick have been made and the results reported in Technologic Paper no. 276. The present paper reports and discusses the results of the tests on clay brick masonry. In this report walls numbered 1 to 17 are of such construction as to permit comparison with those built of sand-lime brick, but it should be noted that the sand-lime brick used were Of slightly higher coma pressive strength than those used in the construction of walls 1 to 17, inclusive. The effect Of brick strength on wall strength is dis cussed herein. The tests on masonry Of cement brick have not yet (1929) been made. The scope Of this investigation has been extended much beyond the original plan, for it seemed desirable to discover, if possible, some of the factors which influence or measure masonry strength. It is believed that much pertinent information, not heretofore known and analyzed, has been disclosed and that this information may be useful to engineers and architects and to the construction industry generally.
