AIM
To determine the compressive strength of Standard brick.
APPARATUS
Bricks, Oven Venire Caliper, Scale,Etc.
THEORY
Bricks are used in construction of either load bearing walls or
in portion walls incase of frame structure. In bad bearing walls total weight from slab and upper floor comes directly through brick and then it is transversed to the foundation. In case the bricks are loaded with compressive nature of force on other hand in case of frame structure bricks are used only for construction of portion
walls, layers comes directly on the lower layers or wall. In this case bricks are loaded with compressive nature of force. Hence for safely measures before using the bricks in actual practice they have
to be tested in laboratory for their compressive strength.
walls, layers comes directly on the lower layers or wall. In this case bricks are loaded with compressive nature of force. Hence for safely measures before using the bricks in actual practice they have

PROCEDURE
1. Select some brick with uniform shape and size.
2. Measure its all dimensions. (LxBxH)
3. Now fill the frog of the brick with fine sand. And
4. Place the brick on the lower platform of compression testing machine and lower the spindle till the upper motion of ramis offered by a specimen the oil pressure start incrising the pointer start returning to zero leaving the drug pointer that is maximum reading which can be noted down.

RESULT
The average compressive strength of new brick sample is found to be ………. Kg/sq.cm.
PRECAUTION
1) Measure the dimensions of Brick accurately.
2) Specimen should be placed as for as possible in the of lower plate.
3) The range of the gauge fitted on the machine should not be more than double the breaking load of specimen for reliable results.
