Thankyou for this Information, but Before 100yrs we used this Technology in underground goldmines in Kolar goldmines, we were working inside the mines.

prasanna venkat if you look at the way they are manufactured, there is no where for the water to go. It would just drip down over the outside as it hits

I called your number ,your quote for 8 inch wide cement interlock bricks is rs 43/ which is way more than what others in the field are offering.others are from 31/ 32/ 35 and 37/.
@@toughie5910 If so then whats the compression strength of your blocks and weight for both the large and small, will contact my engineer with these and compare with other bricks>
It's an old technology. My house was built by the same model of interlock bricks 20 years ago, but not made of cement, it was made of red clay or mud bricks as we call them. Those were heavy bricks, one brick weighing close to 12-15kg approx. Their interlocks helps in holding them together, along with the weight of the roof coming on top of them. I wonder how someone can say it's not suitable for earthquake zones. A normal brick and cement wall would crumble more or the same in an earthquake. **Advantages::: 1. These bricks are wider and can carry more weight and are more stable. 2. They have a good surface finish and we have just painted them,inside as well as outside. 3. No water seepage. 4. The room stays cooler in the summers due to more insulation. 5. Work is faster and cleaner. 6. Less materials like sand and cement required unless you want to plaster the wall. **Disadvantage:: 1. They are much expensive than normal bricks. 2. Not every Mason would want to work with interlock bricks. 3.. You need to be careful with the bricks while laying them. If you chip the edges or break them while placing, it looks bad. So a good supervision is required while the job is being carried out. 4. Corners of walls have to be concreted for better stability, but not a necessity.
It's strange for me to see no cement/mortar between the bricks, or rebar through the bricks. So, if you could answer a couple of questions from your experience: 1. If a structure made of these can hold up against an earthquake, what of a tornado? (tornados are a thing where I live) 2. How are walls kept from tipping over?
@@Phoenix-oj8ul I don't know the current market trends..but it all depends on your priorities... Consider the advantages and disadvantages and which one suits you, accordingly you can decide...
1.Well,as a matter of fact, we never face tornadoes. But,from basic physics, the weight of the concrete roof above the walls and the corner pillers can give the necessary strength. 2. The construction part is a bit critical. Proper alignment and water levels have to be used untill you reach the concrete level. I can share some photos in some time if required.
@@eappenjacob1894 Holy Hell Batman! I was not expecting a response any time soon. Thank you for replying! I would love to see some photos. I really want to make my home out of interlocking bricks, and planned on going to Dwell Earth, but their bricks are not what I have seen others use... They seem to be really big regular bricks with holes in them that they still mortar in between each one. I take it adding pillars / columns along the perimeter wall adds strength? I don't know if I could make a 'concrete roof'... A concrete top rim is possible, with standard wood rafters. Is the "concrete level" the roof level? Thank you for the response!!!
Self weight of the wall and interlocking give strength to the wall. Also the most important thing is when the wall started taking dead load (i.e slab,etc) the wall becomes rigid and strong
You can calculate for a required square feet of construction, how many normal bricks cement, sand and water is required. You can talk to a contractor regarding that. Then for the same area, only calculate the number of bricks that would be required and multiply by price of one brick ,plus the labour charges.
The groove is not deep enough. Half baked technology. Risky to build without mortar. The groove depth should be at least 2 inches to have a mortar free construction. Otherwise only suited for external compound walls. Waste.
Sorry , sir this is enough and more. Because the stability of interlocking Construction is the load comes on the top.,like concrete roof .The interlocking position only helps in construction time . We are using this system for past 34 years.
I'm a Civil Engineer and interested in pursuing as a vendor in trichy because trichy is center point of tamil nadu u can easily transport u r materials to all over tamil nadu from trichy so any possible for the vendor ship
You can not have brick without mortar. That building is unstable. The so called interlocking bricks have been around for more than 15 years but nobody uses them why? Go to any country. People still use conventional bricks.
