Optimisation of calcium silicate and sand cement bricks in masonary bearing walls / Kartini Kamaruddin and Siti Hawa Hamzah

Design and construction of buildings used to be on framed structure incorporating reinforced concrete, steel or timber as structural member to transmit load to the foundation. Bricks are normally used as infill materials in these framed structures. However, research has shown that bricks can also b...
