Masonry walls constructed from hollow (empty) concrete blocks are widely used in residential and low- to mid-rise buildings due to their cost efficiency, thermal performance, and ease of construction. Despite these advantages, their structural behavior under compressive loading is complex, governed by the interaction between blocks, mortar joints, and the ...

Hollow (empty) concrete blocks are commonly used in masonry construction due to their low self-weight, efficient material usage, and favorable thermal performance. The structural response of masonry systems constructed from such blocks is governed not only by the material properties of the blocks themselves, but also by the mechanical behavior ...
