If HS is greater than 2.7m, the compressive strength of bricks or blocks used in the wall should be at least Condition B, or as indicated by the key, whichever is the greater. If the external wall is solid construction, the masonry units should have a compressive strength of at least that shown for the internal leaf of a cavity wall in the same position.
MoreIn any case, hollow blocks, solid blocks and concrete bricks are usually made of the same mix design. Blocks are typically around 10 to (exceptionally) 20MPa. (Note that our way of expressing strength may not be the same in your country) Concrete bricks may have similar compressive strengths. Fired clay bricks may be stronger. Or not.
MoreNote down the load at which masonry unit fails and the maximum load divided by gross sectional area of unit will give the compressive strength of block. Similarly, test the remaining 7 blocks and the average of 8 blocks strength is the final compressive strength of concrete masonry unit.
MoreIt is probably safe to assume that the minimum crushing strength of well-made blocks, 1 to 5, is 1,000 pounds per square inch at 1 month and 2,000 pounds at 1 year. A block 12 inches wide and 24 inches long has a total surface of 288 square inches, or, deducting ⅓ for openings, a net area of 192 inches.
MoreThe compressive strength of each of the 44 blocks in a bale of standard solid concrete blocks, with a nominal strength of 10MPa are given in Table 3. The mean block strength is 16.6MPa, the standard deviation is 1.95MPa and the coefficient ofvariation is 11.7%.

MoreFor normal, medium weight, hollow or solid, load bearing concrete blocks, their compressive strength is 12.5N/mm2 or 125kg/cm2. For normal, medium weight, hollow or solid, concrete blocks, on average, their standard compressive strength is vary between 7.5N/mm2 to 12.5N/mm2 or
MoreTypically, compressive strength or crushing strength of brick is ranging between 1000 psi to 1500 psi, in general, compressive strength of 1st class brick is around 1493 psi, for common building bricks, their compressive strength is around 498 psi, for second class brick, their compressive strength is around 996 psi, for sun dried brick, their compressive strength is around 356 psi, for fly ash brick, their

MoreThe maximum load in pounds supported by the block before failure occurs, divided by the area in square inches, shall be taken as the compressive strength of the block. The arithmetic mean of the compressive strengths of the five blocks shall be taken as the compressive strength of the blocks for the purpose of Clause 10 of this specification.
