- Description
- Past research has produced extensive information on the material properties of brickwork, and found that random variations of the material and mechanical properties of brickwork could have a significant effect on the wall performance and capacity when a wall is required to resist lateral out-of-plane loads due to the actions of wind or earthquake. Few scholars state that the consideration of the unit-to-unit spatial variability of the brickwork material can improve the modeling of wall failure progression and strength prediction. A stochastic computational model is established in this chapter which combines the finite element method and Monte Carlo simulation to study how the spatial variability of material properties affects the failure progression and wall strength for non-load-bearing walls subjected to out-of-plane lateral loading. The work described in this chapter takes the unit-to-unit spatial variability of the material properties of brickwork into account, and conducts a comparison of the results with those obtained when the wall is treated as a uniform material.
