This research paper aims to evaluate and Compare Compressive strength of Unreinforced Brick Masonryconstructed in Cement Sand mortar and Cement Stone dust mortar. To Evaluate the Compressive Strength Six Brick Masonryprisms were prepared, three each in Cement Sand Mortar and Cement Stone Dust mortar, and tested according to ASTM E447. In order to follow the best local practice, water cement ratio 1.2 and cement to fine aggregate ration 1:5 were used.After testing it is concluded that compressive strength of Brick Masonry prisms fabricated in Cement Stone dust mortarincreased 35% as compare to Cement Sand Mortar.
