Question

Reinforced brick partitions are weaker than the ordinary brick partitions.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

Origin of the question is Brick Partitions in portion Cavity Walls & Partition Walls of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) False

To explain: Reinforced brick partitions are much stronger than the ordinary brick partitions. Hence, they are used when the partition wall has to carry and support self-imposed loads in addition to its own weight.
