Note that per footnote A of Table 1 and Table 2, compressive strength of masonry values must be multiplied by 85% when ...
Unit Compressive Strength. The compressive strength of brick or structural clay tile is an important material property for structural applications. In general, increasing the compressive strength of the unit will increase the masonry assemblage compressive strength and elastic modulus. However, brick and structural clay tile are
