    A brick specimen was immersed in water for 24 hours and its frog was filled with cement mortar, stored in a damp bag for 24 hours, and then immersed in water again for 24 hours. The specimen was then placed in a compression testing machine between plywood and loaded axially at a uniform rate until its crushing load was recorded. The crushing strength was calculated as the ratio of the crushing load to the brick's loaded area, with the average of five specimens taken as the overall crushing strength.

    The brick specimen is immersed in water for 24 hours.

    The frog of the brick is


    filled flush with 1:3 cement mortar and the specimen is stored in damp jute bag for
    24 hours and then immersed in clean water for 24 hours. The specimen is placed in
    compression testing machine with 6 mm plywood on top and bottom of it to get
    uniform load on the specimen. Then load is applied axially at a uniform rate of 14
    N/mm2. The crushing load is noted. Then the crushing strength is the ratio of
    crushing load to the area of brick loaded. Average of five specimens is taken as the
    crushing strength.
