What is Brick-Mortar Interface Effects on Masonry about?

This document summarizes a study that uses computational models to investigate how the properties of the brick-mortar interface influence the mechanical behavior of low bond strength masonry structures. The study uses software called UDEC to model masonry walls as assemblages of discrete bricks separated by mortar joints. A series of models are used to evaluate how interface parameters like stiffness, tensile strength, and friction affect load at initial cracking and ultimate load capacity. The results are
