COMPERITIVE PARAMETRIC STUDY OF BRICK PANEL FOR LINEAR STATIC AND MODAL ANALYSIS

Ashish Padhshala, Rudra Upadhyay

Abstract: Brick walls are part of our structure since late 79th century B.C. Bricks is ideal material for construction due to its economical and it contains high compressive strength. Thus it is used in almost all structural construction in India. In this work 3D Finite element models of brick panels were developed using Sap2000 software. Parametric studies have been done for in plane loading. Linear Static and dynamic analysis was carried out. Main two types of bonds English bond and Flemish bond are considered here. Comparative study has been carried by developing load/deflection curve and by Modal analysis

Keywords: English bond, Flemish Bond, Modal Analysis
