Abstract

This paper presents the full-scale experimental tests on steel reinforced and non-reinforced interlocking brick beam utilizing interlocking brick system. Two specimens were tested with and without steel reinforcement embedded in the beam formed using interlocking brick. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of beam utilizing interlocking brick subjected to bending. The flexural behavior of the beam will be studied and discussed in this paper. It is concluded that the use of steel reinforcement in the beam has significantly influenced the flexural capacity. The results obtained from this study can be applied in the design of structure utilizing interlocking brick. Future recommendations are proposed in this paper for further improvements.
