Calcium silicate and sand cement brickwall under axial load capacity / Wan Ruslan Wan Hassan

Commonly, reinforced concrete, timber and steel are used as a frame structure acting as a structural member for load transmittal to the foundation and bricks are used in construction industries only as infill. Bricks can also be used as an external and internal load bearing walls, however the use of...
