| Summary: | This study focuses primarily on experimentally comparing the performance of an interlocking brick wall with and without an opening door. In addition to this, an investigation of the features of the interlocking bricks that were utilised in the construction of the interlocking brick wall was carried out. The major building ingredients for interlocking brick in this procedure are soil, sand, cement, and water. In addition, physical and mechanical evaluations of each individual brick were conducted in relation to the water curing method at 7, 14, and 28 days following curing. The characteristics of the hardened concrete were evaluated after 7, 14, and 28 days of curing respectively. The ratio of water to cementitious materials was set at 0.5. Next, compression tests for the brick and water absorption tests for the interlocking brick were conducted to measure the brick's compressive strength and water absorption. According to the results of the experiment, all of the mixtures were classed as workable pastes. The interlocking brick walls with and without door openings were put to the test in the laboratory until they failed. The findings of this study demonstrated that a wall with no openings has a higher compressive strength than a wall with openings, and that it fails only after a significant amount of time has passed. |
