Effects of using stabilized compressed earth blocks with interlocking configurations.

The study determined the effects of using compressed earth blocks with interlocking configurations. There were three interlocking designs that the group come up. Utilizing only one mix design three interlocking configurations were tested and evaluated on its compressive and shear strength. The main...

There were three interlocking designs that the group come up. Utilizing only one mix design three interlocking configurations were tested and evaluated on its compressive and shear strength. The main objective of the study is to compare the effects of the interlocking configuration of the blocks in its compressive and shear strength with respect to conventional mortar laying of the blocks focusing only on individual blocks. Based on the experiments conducted, the shear strength of the interlocking grooves were sufficient enough to carry loads compared to that of using the conventional mortar laying in solid plain CEBs.
