    This study conducted full-scale experimental tests on cantilever beams made of Reinforced Interlocking Hollow Brick Beam System (RIHBS) to evaluate its flexural behavior. Reinforcement bars were installed at the top and bottom of the beams to improve their flexural and shear strength through composite action with the interlocking bricks. The results showed that beams with reinforcement at the top and bottom had at least 30% higher strength capacity than those with reinforcement only at the top, and the infill mortar influenced strength capacity through its contribution to composite action.

    ABSTRACT

    Reinforced Interlocking Hollow Brick Beam System (RIHBS) was recently


    proposed in the construction of load bearing wall. However, this system has been
    extended to carry a flexural load applied to the beam. This thesis presents the fullscale experimental tests on cantilever beam of RIHBS. Reinforcement bars are
    installed in the beam to improve the flexural and shear behaviour of the beam.
    Besides, this will form a composite action where the interlocking mechanism will act
    compositely with reinforcement bars in the system. The results show that cantilever
    beam with reinforcement bars installed at the top and bottom of the beam has at least
    30% higher strength capacity compared with cantilever beam with reinforcement
    bars installed at the top of the beam. Besides, infill used in the proposed beam has
    influenced the strength capacity as the composite action relied on the strength of the
    infill mortar.
