Abstract
The paper focuses on wide use of interlocking bricks over the replacement of traditional clay bricks in masonry systems as sustainable building material. It also focuses in terms of various structural applications Interlocking brick the name itself states the locking arrangements in such a way that both 9 inch and 6inch brick-wall can be built using a single brick as other interlocking bricks are manufactured to construct a wall of single width. Interlocking bricks have superior structural stability. The interlocking mechanism creates a robust bond between bricks, enhancing earthquake resistance and load-bearing capacity. Additionally, interlocking brick constructions exhibit excellent thermal insulation properties, leading to energy-efficient buildings with reduced heating and cooling costs. In this paper, we have proved the various aspects of interlocking bricks making it a better replacement to traditional brick masonry system. As in today's market AAC blocks have gained a tremendous market this brick also proves better in comparison with AAC blocks with respect to various aspects. These interlocking bricks can replace the faulty workmanship on the construction site which is explained in this paper. Interlocking bricks also eliminates the use of cement mortar which in terms reduces the cost of construction.This system can be very useful for faster, efficient and low cost construction which will help in future development of the country in sustainability.
