EVALUATING THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF
Conversely, if the concrete masonry units have compressive strengths of 2,800 psi (19.3 MPa), then the maximum f’ m used in design would be 2,000 psi (13.8 MPa) if Type M or S mortar were used.

EVALUATING THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF
As an example, using either Table 1 or Table 2 for concrete masonry units with a compressive strength of 2,600 psi (17.93 MPa), the maximum f’ m used in design would be 2,250 psi (15.51 MPa) if Type M or S mortar were used. Note that per footnote A of Table 1 and Table 2, compressive strength of masonry values must be multiplied by 85% when the unit strength is established on units less than 4 in. (102

What is the minimum required compressive strength for
When using the recalibrated unit strength table above, a concrete masonry unit complying with the minimum requirements of ASTM C90 and laid in Type S or M mortar produces an assembly compressive strength of 2,000 psi (13.8 MPa), which is substantially larger than the historical default minimum of 1,500 psi (10.3 MPa) used for the specified compressive strength of concrete masonry.

Testing of Concrete Masonry Blocks for Compressive
31.10.2016· Note 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.

DENSITY-RELATED PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE MASONRY
The structural design of masonry is based on the specified compressive strength of masonry, f’m, which is a function of the compressive strength of the unit and the type of mortar used in construction. It is possible to produce a wide range of compressive strengths within each of the density classes.

Compressive Strength of Dry-Stacked Concrete
This paper presents the results of an experimental program investigating the compressive strength of dry-stacked assemblies built from nonproprietary standard concrete masonry units. The program included 124 tests of dry-stacked prisms; variables in the program included compressive strength of the units and treatment of the interface. Roughness of the interface was found to have significant

DENSITY-RELATED PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE
Regardless of unit density, all loadbearing concrete masonry units meeting the physical properties of ASTM C90 (ref. 3) must have a minimum average compressive strength of 1,900 psi (13.1 MPa). It is possible to produce concrete masonry units that meet or exceed the ASTM C90 minimum strength in any density classification, although not all combinations of physical properties may be commonly

CONCRETE MASONRY UNIT GUIDE SPECIFICATION
2.01.A.7 Unless otherwise specified, concrete masonry units conforming to ASTM C-90 will have a minimum average net compressive strength of 1,900 psi. If stronger units are required, specify strength here. Structural notes should call out the masonry compressive strength required and method of compliance, if so, omit this section.

Compressive Strength of Brick Masonry
The compressive strength of a wall depends on the strength of the units used, the bricks or blocks, and the mortar. The assessment of the combined strength of the elements will also be affected by the degree of quality control exercised in manufacture and construction. The slenderness ratio, in turn, depends upon the effective height (or length) and the effective thickness of the wall or column.

1. Introduction to Eurocode 6 Brick
load capacity depends on there being a design compressive stress in the masonry of at least 0.4 N/mm2. When a lower stress due to design loads may be acting, for example when autoclaved aerated concrete or lightweight aggregate concrete masonry is used, the manufacturer’s advice should be sought and a partial safety factor of 3 should be used.
