MODERN BRICKWORK HIGHWAY STRUCTURES
Clay brickwork is set to reemerge as a major structural material with the growing emphasis on designing aesthetically pleasing highway structures with low maintenance costs. This paper addresses the use of clay brickwork construction for new highway structures such as earth retaining walls, short-span arch bridges and bridge abutments, piers, parapets, and wingwalls. The performance of existing masonry structures is appraised, the principal design requirements for new brickwork structures are identified, and recent research and development is summarized. Two recently completed bridges with major elements of structural clay brickwork construction are described in brief.
