This paper presents an experimental investigation of shear and flexural bond strength of masonry prisms for newly developed sediment masonry bricks. The masonry prisms were constructed in three levels stack-bonded prisms for shear bond strength test and five levels stack-bonded prisms for flexural bond strength test using cement mortar and cement-lime mortar with pre-wetted and dry masonry units. The bond strengths of sediment brick masonry were tested accordance with RILEM TC 127-MS and ASTM E518 for shear and flexural bond strengths respectively. The results were compared to clay brick and cementsand brick masonry. The results show that pre-wetted sediment brick masonry exhibits higher flexural and shear bond strengths of about 1.5 times and 5 times respectively compared to dry (nonwetted) sediment brick masonry. Using cement-lime mortar in pre-wetted sediment brick masonry leads to increment of the bond strengths and pre-wetting action is essential for sediment brick masonry to prevent failure of shear bond strength.
