Abstract

A three-dimensional (3D) finite element analyses (FEA) were conducted to study the differences in the compressive strength and behaviour between solid and filled 3-course high stack-bonded concrete block masonry prisms. A plastic non-linear analysis was carried out to obtain a more accurate picture of the stress distribution throughout the specimens and to predict the initiation of cracking and mode of failure. The level of stress applied to the finite element models was obtained experimentally by testing specimens of the same geometric and material properties as the ones used in the analyses. The results show a clear differences In the strength and behaviour between the two types of prisms analysed in this investigation.
