Abstract
Brick is one of the widely used materials for the construction of walls in building. In many cases the walls built are get failed due to excess lateral loads. Generally bricks cannot withstand to a large amount of lateral loads. Ferrocement casing given to the brick wall gives an additional strength to wall and ferrocement casing is the use of the wire mesh on the wall and dry mortar is sprayed in it. The main advantage if ferrocement is in which it can be moulded into any shape. Different types of steel wire mesh are taken and casing is done in ferrocement masonry column and the strongest column with higher strength is calculated. The column with use of 0.354mm mesh has higher resistance to lateral load.
Keywords- Brick, lateral load, steel wire mesh, ferrocement
