A Study on Low Cost Roof (Masonary Slab)
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Bangladesh is a developing country with a very dense population. About 70% people lives in village. With most of the population living below poverty line. So the demand of low cost housing is increasing. In residential buildings, low cost roofing reduces the cost of housing. Slab made of brick module with or without beam is found to be practiced locally. Moreover brick masonry slab is easy to construct and durable with respect to fire proofing and corrosion if nominal or zero reinforcement is possible. This study investigates the performance of masonry slab of various dimensions and thickness. A number of 33 slabs of different size and thickness were cast and test. Test results revealed that flexural stress varies from 60 to 290 psi for brick masonry and for concrete masonry it is more than 350 psi. Combined failure both in joint and brick module was observed. In case of herring bone bond brick failure and other cases bond failure observed. The studies shows that herring bone bond masonry slab can resist maximum load which may be useful for low cost housing.
