Nonlinear finite element analysis of grouted and ungrouted hollow interlocking mortarless block masonry system

The main feature of the interlocking hollow block masonry is the replacement of mortar layers commonly used in bonded masonry with interlocking keys (protrusions and grooves). This study covers the modelling and the analysis of interlocking mortarless ungrouted (hollow) and grouted concrete block sy...
