Abstract

The present research work was carried out with the objective of analyzing the experimental study of the mechanical properties of brick masonry from two factories in Quito through destructive tests, such as the compressive strength and diagonal tensile strength test, both of brick units such as low walls built. for which the construction of the low walls was carried out outside the research center of the CIV house, to later be transferred to the interior of the laboratory in question, it should be emphasized that before entering the respective curing or setting had to be carried out of the sample specimens, once ready, the test protocols and the respective preparation of test equipment and materials were carried out. Finally, a total of 10 data were obtained from the compressive strength test of lots D and E, 10 data from the diagonal tension resistence test of lots D and E, with the data obtained, the research analysis is carried out to then present the final results in table and figure. According to chapter 5 of the standard (NEC-SE-MP, 2015) section 5.3.1, the equation presented by the standard and the values obtained in the research work are within the range, that is, they are less than at 20000 MPa, therefore, it is confirmed that the modulus of elasticity (Em) is variable according to the quality and origin of the components that make it up.
