Flexural strength interlocking block beam laterite soil

Load bearing interlocking block (LBIB) is one of the methods in Industrialized Building System (IBS) as classified by the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB), Using the LBIB in the construction of houses is fast and does not require formwork. The channel blocks act as permanent f...
