Abstract :

This thesis concerns with a series of advanced experimental studies regarding the structural connections between cast-in-situ concrete slabs and interlocking load-bearing block walls. Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) has developed interlocking load-bearing blocks in two standard sizes, namely 400 x 200 x 150 mm and 300 x 150 x 150 mm. Before this, studies regarding the design properties of the block, compressive strength of prism and full-scale wall under concentric and eccentric loading was successfully conducted. The objective of this study is to ascertain the degree of the strength of the interlocking block wall – slab connections. The study also attempts to compare these strength values obtained from UTM interlocking block with other blocks, and to tabulate the structural behaviour of the blocks in terms of parameters such as axial load, block size and the structural nature of the wall itself – whether reinforced or unreinforced. The detailed experimental study involves the preparation of specimens, preparation of the necessary apparatus for testing purposes, preparation of detailed guidelines for the experimental"
