Abstract
The article discusses the results of experimental investigation of highly hollow concrete block masonry and concrete infill block masonry behaviour under compression. The research revealed that upon failure of hollow block masonry, the longitudinal shells are detached from the web which results in crumbling. Masonry deformations of the blocks with concrete infill are similar to those of the infill concrete control samples for longitudinal deformations, which proves fairly good mutual block and infill concrete performance.
