Abstract
This paper presents an experimental investigation on fly-ash based solid block masonry prism using m-sand as partial replacement of fine aggregate. Masonry prisms were constructed with various mortar grades 1:4, 1:5, and 1:6, and the respective compressive strength of cement mortar was tested for 7days, 28days, and 90days. River sand Msand is one be the suitable replacement for river sand. In this experimental work, a solid block is produced by a constant replacement of cement by 10%of fly ash and fine aggregate by M-sand of proportion 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. Masonry prisms are tested for various mortar proportions to determine the compressive strength. The mechanical properties of solid block prism are compared with code provisions such as IS:1905-1987 and ASTM C1314. The result clearly states that the compression strength of the masonry prism is affected by the mortar grade.
