Excerpt from Strength of Interlocking-Rib Tile Walls
On the assumption that the modulus of rupture is a fair basis of comparison of the relative transverse strength of 8 and 12 inch walls, it can be stated that no wall of the ordinary type of tile tested showed as high transverse strength as the 12-inch interlocking-rib tile wall with cement-lime mortar (16 - E - 3, N o. And only one 8-inch wall (1 - S - 4) showed transverse strength comparable with it.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a study of hollow clay building tile and walls built with these units, providing valuable insights for engineers, builders, and architects. The author examines the physical properties of various tile designs and analyzes the strength of walls constructed with them under vertical and transverse loads. The research builds upon previous studies, extending the understanding of masonry walls and their ability to withstand extreme conditions. The book delves into the impact of workmanship, mortar composition, and tile design on wall strength, offering practical guidance for optimizing construction practices. Through rigorous testing and analysis, the author establishes the potential of interlocking-rib tile walls, demonstrating their superior transverse strength compared to traditional tile designs. This comprehensive exploration of hollow tile walls provides essential knowledge for designing and constructing durable and resilient masonry structures.
