INFLUENCE OF MASONRY COMPONENT CHARACTERISTICS ON COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF LOW STRENGTH CONCRETE BLOCK MASONRY
Purpose: This study evaluated comparatively, the influence of block units and mortar characteristics on the uniaxial compressive strength of low-strength concrete block masonry prisms, with a view to understanding their behaviour. Design/methodology/approach: Half scaled specimens of 450 mm x 225 mm block units were produced with which 36 concrete...
