Abstract

This paper presents an experimental investigation on fly ash based solid block masonry prism by 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 were tested for 7days, 28days and 90days.River sand M-sand is one be the suitable replacement for river sand.In this experimental work 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 provision 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.
