Numerical Simulation of a Shear Wall Model in Interlocking Masonry with Dry Vertical and Horizontal Joints in Compressed Earth Blocks

Numerical Simulation of a Shear Wall Model in Interlocking Masonry with Dry Vertical and Horizontal Joints in Compressed Earth Blocks

This study investigates the mechanical behavior of masonry walls constructed using interlocking compressed earth blocks with dry vertical and horizontal joints. Numerical simulations were conducted to evaluate the performance of this innovative system compared to traditional masonry and to validate...
