Abstract of: Experimental Investigation of Mortar Mechanical Properties for Glass Brick Masonry

The main advantage of solid bricks over hollow blocks is substantially higher compressive strength. On the other hand, solid bricks have much higher thermal conductivity, which would lead to major heat loss when used for exterior walls. Masonry pillars and walls are usually loaded by compression an...
