Finite element analysis of interlocking masonry subjected to static loading
This study's objective was to assess the effectiveness and performance of four distinct masonry wall types under compressive and out-of-plane stress scenarios. The four different interlocking wall types that were examined had uniform wall dimensions of 80 cm in length, 60 cm in height, and 10 cm in thickness, and they were the frog masonry wall, square groove, full groove, and half groove. The frog brick had dimensions of 19 × 9 × 9 cm, while all interlocking bricks had dimensions of 20 × 10 × 10 cm. Different loading scenarios were simulated using the Abaqus, with compressive loads of 500, 550, and 600 N/cm2 and out-of-plane stresses of 10, 15, and 20 N/cm2. The most efficient interlocking wall was then determined by analysing the displacement and stress data collected for each wall prototype. The study offers useful information and conclusions for the building sector regarding the performance of various brick wall types under various loading scenarios. The study's findings revealed that the square groove interlocking wall had the lowest value for the displacement parameter, at 0.089 cm, making it the most effective option. In terms of stress parameters, the interlocking walls measured 500.02 N/cm2, 500.945 N/cm2, and 500.909 N/cm2, respectively, with the frog masonry wall showing the highest value at 3219 N/cm2. This study's importance rests in its potential for real-world applications since the findings can be used to enhance the safety and design of physical structures.
