Concrete brick usage continues to increase because the material has gone through a process of research and testing to ensure its quality. However, concrete brick walls untested on the field for a particular earthquake zone. In this study the flexural strength and ductility of concrete brick walls will be determined, without and with wiremesh reinforcement. The results were then applied to a Type 36 simple house against earthquakes based on SNI 03-1726-2002, to identify in which earthquake zone these walls can be applied. Four groups of specimens with dimension of 1790 x 590 x 140 mm were made, namely: concrete brick wall without reinforcement (TP), and concrete brick wall with wiremesh reinforcements of Ø4-50 (DBW-1), Ø4–75 (DBW-2) and Ø4-100 (DBW-3) respectively. The results showed that the maximum moment capacity of the wall without reinforcement (TP) was 3.16 KNm/m. Increasing moment capacities occured at five to seven times greater in specimens with wiremesh reinforcements (DBW1, DBW2 and DBW3). Maximum moment based on SAP2000 analysis that occur in a simple house using the model without reinforcement (TP) can be applied to the earthquake zone 4 of medium soil, while all models with wiremesh Ø4-50, Ø4–75 and Ø4-100 reinforcements can be applied to zone 6 of soft soil.
