“Laboratory Based Analysis of Bricks for Construction Purpose.

Abstract

The study was conducted in the Department of “Civil Engineering” at “Sonargaon University” with the objects to prepare a project and thesis with a view to partial fulfillment for the requirements of the degree of B.Sc. in Civil Engineering. The specific objective of the study was to find out which brick is more preferable for construction purposes. The study mainly aimed at the investigate quality of bricks by different laboratory test and it's applied to different purposes. To investigate the brick samples were collected from Savar Hemayetpur and Amin Bazar bricks factory for laboratory tests. We have collected five pieces of bricks samples for each 1st, 2nd and 3rd class from every factory. Then, we did some Laboratory-Based Analyses such as compressive strength of brick, percentage of water absorption & unit weight test of bricks. All data have been collected from different books, engineering websites and some data collected from laboratory tests. As per our Laboratory-Based Analyses, we recommended the bricks as construction purposes the “SAN" is the best for 1st class brick, "TAHA" is the best for 2nd class, " MMSB " is the best for 3rd class, as construction purpose.
