Abstract: Brick masonry is widely used for building construction throughout the world. In today scenario the standards were reduced due to increase in pollution & poor structural design. The reinforcement sustains at higher loads and can reduce the crack in the wall. This helps strengthen the brickwork and prevent cracking, especially in areas susceptible to earthquake zones. In this research we are also going to deal with the crack patterns for different reinforced, unreinforced masonry walls and comparing the both. In order to find the strength of the brick’s compression, diagonal shear, masonry prism, water absorption, mortar, tensile tests are being carried out. I did the experimental analysis of reinforced & unreinforced brick masonry walls with a specified dimensions and different properties. The equipment that is used to test the brick specimen is loading frame.
Keywords: Crack Patterns, Compression Test, Diagonal Shear Test, Reinforced Brick Masonry.
