Compressive Stress Values for Bricks and Blocks
Hi Guys
Does anyone have allowable compressive stress values for bricks and blocks used in 1970s construction please? The blocks I have heard described as slag blocks - a bit like aero in construction, but with black bits and solid chunks here and there. Bit nasty to drill, but more solid/heavy that the modern thermalite jobbies. The bricks I have heard described as Fletton (sp). Not sure if this is the correct name, but these are bog standard 1970 house bricks. Reason: I am looking at an RSJ for ceiling joist support with one end landing on an internal block leaf and the other landing on a "previously-external-now-internal" brick leaf. Need to assess end load support and any load spreading required. TIA Phil |
