dc.description	The flexural strength of masonry, which can be defined both parallel and perpendicular to bed joints, is an important strength parameter especially in lightly loaded walls. Due to scarcity of conventional masonry materials and energy related issues associated with them, alternative masonry materials are promoted. Compressed Stabilized Earth (CSE) masonry is one such material with adequate compressive strength for single and two storey load bearing construction. Flexural strength of such alternative materials is important to evaluate the performance when subjected to lateral loads due to wind, floods or any other load that can cause out-of- plane bending in a wall.	en_US
