Abstract
Hollow concrete block masonry is widely in use. In this study hollow blocks are tested for their compressive strength. The overall lateral strength of masonry walls made of hollow concrete blocks is compared with the lateral strength of the fire-brick kilned masonry wall. Different models with and without reinforcement, with and without sand infill and with different types of mortar, are compared for stiffness. The cracking patterns are studied.
