In this study, an effort has been made to compare mainly three different types of bricks available in themarket. Four physical test are performed on the bricks: compressive strength test, water absorption test and thermalconductivity test. All the three bricks have different dry density. From the dry density, dead load from a wall made ofthese three bricks are compared. End moments on supporting beam are also compared. Moreover, cost comparison ismade for constructing a wall made of these different bricks. Different results and properties are discussed and comparedin the discussion section. Other characteristics from visual inspections are also discussed.
