FIELD: civil engineering. SUBSTANCE: brick wall panel is erected from bricks with two holes in the middle of the brick width and on one fourth of the length its end, which makes it possible to lay them also across the panel thickness and provides their work in tension together with reinforcement. Reinforcement bars, mortar and vibrodamping material used for damping the vibration waves within a wide range are placed in the through ducts formed by brick holes.
