Abstract
This study explores the various brick categories and their masonry prisms in terms of their compressive loading. It aims to identify the similarities and differences in the strength of these various bricks. The horizontal impact resistance of a masonry infill wall prototype that is based on the strength of its masonry prism and the horizontal de-forming structure of its replica.
A masonry prism is a grouping of units that consists of mortar and grout. It is mainly used for construction of masonry buildings. Clay brick masonry prisms have the biggest cumulative energy dissipation and the greatest performance. However, their behavior is non-elastic.
