Abstract
In the research below, an analysis is presented that has the different prisms and pieces of masonry to the compression efforts and axial compression. In order to compare the relationship between them. The process was carried out selecting different samples of both elements. These were taken to a laboratory where the different compressive stress and axial compression tests were performed. The result of the graphs shows that the stresses found in the piece-masonry are greater than those shown by the CHOC-08 equations. It is concluded that the materials used in Honduras for the prism are oversized, so it is recommended to continue carrying out tests to validate the data of the Honduran construction code.
