Seismic analysis of interlocking mortarless hollow block

Various types of interlocking mortarless (dry-stacked) block masonry systems have been developed worldwide. However, the characteristics of dry joints under compressive load, and their effect on the overall behavior of the interlocking mortarless system, are still not well understood. This paper pre...
