The brittle nature of masonry walls causes them to fracture easily under extreme loads by vehicular crashes, blasts, gas explosions, earthquakes, resulting in huge damage to the infrastructure. However, this problem can be minimized by embedding auxetic materials in the mortar, which increases the energy absorption capacity of the walls. Auxetic materials have the ability […]
