Abstract

In the present scenario, the shortage of housing in the rapidly developing country India has been discussed along with the suitability of affordable masonry housing to Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Low Income Group (LIG) people to fill the existing gap. Evolution of fly ash brick and its role in saving the environment from pollution has also been discussed. A brief account of masonry and its use as a structural material has been presented. Studies on stresses developed in axially loaded brick mortar composite and the experimental investigations on rat-trap bond along with its contribution in providing thermal comfort and economy in design are discussed. A case study of the experimental investigation on masonry subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading is also discussed.
