Abstract:

The main objective of this thesis is to study replacement of concrete by bricks. In reinforced concrete slabs strength of concrete lying the neutral axis [just above and below] is not fully utilized. So near the neutral axis as well as in tension zone concrete has been replaced by bricks in order to reduced weight and cost of slabs.An experimental program is conducted on six simply supported concrete slabs. All six slabs cast in two different groups and every group having three slabs. The first group of slabs are of reinforced concrete slabs and second group of slabs are of brick composite slabs. Both groups of slabs compare with each other.The deflection (in mm) readings are taken with the help of dial gauges. The dial gauges are at position of 300mm far from centre of the slab on the right hand and 300mm far from the centre of the slab on the left hand on both side and one dial gauge is placed at the centre of the slab. The total no. of dial gauges are used throughout the study is five (5).The relationship between load and mid-span deflection are being drawn.
