Compressive strength of interlocking compressed earth brick units

This study presents a compressive strength test of ICEB units with two different methods under five condition. The first method requires that the tongue be removed by grinding the surface of the samples until the top and bottom surface are parallel with a tolerance of 0.1 mm for every 100 mm and tes...
