Abstract

This research paper aims to evaluate and Compare Compressive strength of Unreinforced Brick Masonry
constructed in Cement Sand mortar and Cement Stone dust mortar. To Evaluate the Compressive Strength Six Brick Masonry
prisms were prepared, three each in Cement Sand Mortar and Cement Stone Dust mortar, and tested according to ASTM E
447. In order to follow the best local practice, water cement ratio 1.2 and cement to fine aggregate ration 1:5 were used.
After testing it is concluded that compressive strength of Brick Masonry prisms fabricated in Cement Stone dust mortar
increased 35% as compare to Cement Sand Mortar.
