Moisture impact on compressive strength and deformability of brick masonry [PDF]

Scientific Reports
In many existing brick buildings, severe dampness of the walls is often observed. One of the most common causes of severe dampness is a lack of adequate damp-proofing and frequent flooding.

Experimental and numerical investigation on penetration of clay masonry by small high-speed projectile

Defence Technology, 2021
This study investigates a kind of masonry consisting of clay-fired brick (fc = 10 MPa; ρ=1.38g/cm3) and mortar (fc = 10 MPa; ρ=1.8g/cm3). Clay-fired brick masonry connotes a traditional construction material of old architecture and public buildings.
