Techno-Economic Comparative Analysis between Cavities Wall and Ordinary Brick Masonry Wall

Abstract

A cavity wall is just two masonry walls that are divided by a variety of-sized cavities. Masonry connections can be used to connect the solid brick, structural clay tile, or concrete masonry elements that make up the masonry walls. However, modern construction has investigated it as an innovator for structure. The usage of cavity walls was formerly seen as a fashion, particularly in the mediaeval era. Masonry walls known as cavity walls employ the voids between the bricks to build a solid and reliable framework. Both residential and commercial structures can adopt this style of construction, which is less expensive and offers more energy efficiency than other wall types. They come in a variety of styles and can be utilized for structural reasons to give a house or business building more strength without completely rebuilding it. This essay discusses the differences between cavity walls and regular brick masonry walls and emphasizes the significance of cavity walls as a step toward sustainable building. To assess the costs and soft benefits of cavity walls and standard brick masonry walls, the researchers used two different sorts of approaches: desk study reviews of cavity walls' fundamental features and small floor plan analyses. A description of the characteristics of cavity walls is provided, along with information on their structural qualities, resistance to water penetration, fire resistance, and thermal and sound transmission characteristics. Additionally, some suggestions have been made for generally recognized issues with hollow walls, as they can serve as a developing tool and be an integrated approach to modern structural technology that is both cost- and energy-efficient.
