Prism compressive strength is the most influential parameter to evaluate the seismic performance of non-structural concrete brick masonry walls, and is affected by the practice and workmanship of masonry workers. This study experimentally investigates the influence of workmanship on prism compressive strength throughout the compressive test with prism specimens constructed according to masonry workmanship. To do this, the workmanship is categorized into good, fair, and poor conditions which are statistically evaluated with thickness and indentation depth of bed-joints. Then, the effect of workmanship on the structural properties of masonry prisms is evaluated by investigating relations between properties such as their compressive strength, elastic modulus and numerical parameters such as thickness, filling of bed-joints. This study demonstrates that the indentation depth is more important parameter for structural properties of masonry prisms and masonry prisms with loss in bed-joint area less than of 7% can be in fair condition.

A set of tests were accomplished in order to get better insight of the basic material properties of masonry made of normal concrete brick and different type of mortar compositions. Three different types of test were performed. Masonry unit and prism were tested by compressive strength test, Masonry wallets were tested by compressive strength test. Masonry wallets were tested in diagonally under tension. A significant influence of different mortar compositions on compression strength of masonry prism was observed, The tests have shown that for diagonal compression three different mode of failure were possible : tension crack along the loaded diagonal sliding along a mortar joint and combined sliding and diagonal crack according to the adhesive strength of a mortar.

The present study aims to understand the behaviour of low-strength masonry prisms constructed with locally-produced low-strength hollow concrete blocks. Compression tests were conducted on masonry prisms constructed with three different mortar grades of cement-sand ratios of 1:3, 1:4.5 and 1:6 representing strong, moderately strong and weak mortar. Stress-strain curves were generated from the test results for the masonry prisms. The hollow concrete masonry units employed in this study are some of the weakest as compared to other masonry units employed by other researchers. The compressive strengths for masonry prisms with mortar grades 1:3, 1:4.5 and 1:6 are 2.21 MPa, 2.19 MPa and 2.25 MPa respectively. The results indicate that the masonry compressive strength of such low-strength hollow concrete block masonry prisms is not influenced by the mortar strength. Simple relationships to estimate the modulus of elasticity and compressive strength of masonry prisms is also proposed.

The major problem of a coal combustion-based power plant is that it creates large quantity of solid wastes. So, to achieve the gainful use of waste materials and to avoid other environmental problems, this study was undertaken. The quantity of coal ash by-products, particularly coal fly ash and coal bottom ash has been increasing from the coal power plants around the world. The other objective of this study was to explore the possibility of utilization of coal ash in the production of ash bricks. In 15 different mixes, Mix Designation M-1 to M-15, the varying percentages of lime and gypsum were used and sand was replaced with coal bottom ash. Further, it has been noticed that the water absorption and compressive strength of mix M-15 is 13.36% and 7.85 MPa which is better than the conventional bricks. The test results of this investigation show that the prism strength of coal ash masonry prisms was more than that of the conventional bricks.

최근 생태 친환경 건축이 화두로 등장하면서 친환경 건축재료인 점토벽돌과 공기의 흐름과 수분의 이동이 가능한 석회모르타르의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 국내 연구는 콘크리트벽돌과 시멘트모르타르에 집중되고 있어 점토벽돌 및 석회모르타르에 대한 연구가 거의 없는 실정이며, 조적조의 국내 기준 또한 국내에서 사용되는 재료와 다른 물리적 값을 사용하고 있는 국외기준을 바탕으로 제정되어 국내 실정을 적절히 반영하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 프리즘압축강도, 부착강도, 전단 및 사인 장강도 실험을 통해 점토벽돌과 석회모르타르를 사용한 조적구조의 물리적 특성을 파악하고자 한다. 또한, 콘크리트벽돌과 시멘트모르타르를 사용한 조적구조와의 물리적 특성을 비교분석하여 국내 조적기준을 개정하기 위한 근거를 제시하고자 한다. 점토 벽돌과 석회모르타르를 적용한 조적구조는 콘크리트벽돌과 시멘트모르타르를 사용한 조적구조와는 다른 양상을 보이므로 점토벽돌과 석회모르타르를 적용한 조적구조의 프리즘압축강도와 탄성계수에 대한 추정식을 제안한다.

본 논문은 국내의 비보강 조적조에 대해 내진성능을 조사하기 위하여 재료측성 평가를 위한 실험연구를 수행하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 조적용 모르터의 압축강도식을 제안하였다. 또한 조적용 모르터의 배합비에 따른 조적조 프리즘의 압축강도 특성을 비교하였다. 조적조 프리즘의 압축강도로써 조적조의 탄성계수를 구할 수 있는 약산식을 제시하였으며, 약산식을 사인장 조적조 실험을 통하여 구한 전단탄성계수값과 비교하여 볼 때 타당성을 가지고 있다고 판단된다. 실험결과로써 나온 재료특성 값을 바탕으로 2층 조적조 다세대 주택에 대한 유사동적해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과로 얻은 전단응력과 전단파괴가 나타난 사인장 조적조의 허용전단응력은 유사한 것으로 확인되었다.

The study evaluates properties of brick having coal ash and explores the possibility of utilization of coal bottom ash and coal fly ash as an alternative raw material in the production of coal ash bricks. Lower cement content was used in the investigations to attain appropriate strength and prohibit high carbon content that is cause of environmental pollution. The samples use up to 7% of cement whereas sand was replaced with bottom ash. Bricks were tested for compressive strength, modulus of rupture, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), water absorption and durability. The results showed mix proportions of bottom ash, fly ash and cement as 1:1:0.15 i.e., M-15 achieved optimum values. The coal ash bricks were well bonded with mortar and could be feasible alternative to conventional bricks thus can contribute towards sustainable development.
