Experimental evaluation of sand cement brickwall as load bearing structure / Hasmunir Hamid

The birth of alternative construction techniques and new construction materials have offer many advantages as compared to the traditional construction methods and basic materials. Bricks are normally used as infill materials in framed structures in conventional design and construction of buildings....
