Dimension Test of Brick as per IS Code 1077:1999

DIMENSION TEST OF BRICKS or TEST ON BRICKS

            Hi friends, you are welcomed in the world of Civil Allied Gyan. In this article I have explained about dimension test of bricks (brick size).

By the help of this blog you can easily find the dimension test of bricks (brick size). So please continue to the end & keep your love and support on me.

IS Code for Dimension Test of Brick  :-

• IS: 1077:1992
• IS: 12894:1990
• IS: 13757:1993

APPARATUS REQUIRED FOR THE TEST :-

• Measuring Tape (0.1 mm)

PROCEDURE OF THE TEST:-

1. Take the twenty No. (20) of test specimens (bricks).
2. Lay the twenty No. of brick contact with each other in longitudinal direction to   measure the length of the test piece.
3. Lay the twenty No. of brick in width wise direction and measure the width.
4. Lay the twenty No. of brick in height wise direction and measure the thickness.
5. Calculate the individual and average of the measures.
6. Report the result i.e. height, width & thickness of 20 bricks in (mm).

                             Arrangement of Bricks to Measure Dimensions

Brick Sizes Based on IS 1077 Specification (Common Burnt Clay Building Bricks) :-

A.) The standard modular size of common building bricks shall be as follows: 

Length (L)	Depth/Width (D/W)	Height (H)
mm	mm	mm
190	90	90
190	90	40

Dimension of Brick

B.) The non-modular size of bricks shall be as follows:

Length (L)	Depth/Width (D/W)	Height (H)
mm	mm	mm
230	110	70
230	110	30

C.) Additionally, for obtaining proper bond arrangement and modular dimensions for the brick work, with the non-modular sizes, the sizes of bricks may be as follows:

Length (L)	Depth/Width (D/W)	Height (H)
mm	mm	mm
70	110	701/3
