Full blend brick 100×50×30 mm in dimensions were used to make masonry walls with dimensions of 400×400×100 mm. Three different samples were manufactured by plastering masonry walls with traditional style, with 3% polypropylene or with 5% steel fiber. All the samples were tested using ASTM 1391- 81 standards. The propagation of damage on samples caused by diagonal tensile load was observed and load-displacement graphs were plotted for each sample. A finite element software (ABAQUS) was used to obtain numerical values for all samples and crack patterns and load-displacement responses were obtained. Experimental and numerical results were compared. Copyright © 2015 Techno-Press, Ltd.Article10.12989/sem.2015.56.2.189
