0.07 Typical stepped shear cracks were originated Rocking Fig. No.
from the upper corners of the openings of
both the wythes of South wall piers i.e.
BMCWP-05 & 07.
0.09 Stepped shear cracks were originated from Rocking
the upper corners of the openings of both the
wythes of North wall piers i.e. BMCWP-01
& 02. Also in the south wall Stepped shear
cracks originates from the bottom corner of
the openings below sill level of both the
wythe of pier BMCWP-07. The other corner
cracks propagated and widened.
0.12 Some horizontal and vertical cracks due to Rocking + vertical
vertical stresses have been observed in both splitting
wythes of the south wall east side pier i.e.
BMCWP-7. Cracks originates from the
upper corner of the opening of both the
wythes of middle pier of south wall i.e.
BMCWP-06. Also the other existing cracks
propagated and widened.
0.18 Some horizontal and vertical cracks Rocking + vertical
appeared in the spandrel above west side splitting
pier of south wall i.e. BMCWP-5. Some
cracks were observed at the bottom of
middle pier of south wall below sill level.
Also the cracks already at the corner of
opening propagate and widened.
0.24 1) New horizontal cracks were developed at Rocking
the bottom of the combined wythes of both
the piers of north wall i.e. BMCWP-01 &
02. Also the top corner cracks of the same
piers widened and propagated.
2) Similarly stepped and horizontal cracks
were developed at the bottom of both the
leaves of west side pier of the south wall i.e.
BMCWP-5. Some horizontal cum vertical
cracks were observed in the middle of
internal leaf of the same pier and some in the
spandrel in the same leaf above the same
pier. Also the other cracks propagated and
 widened.
3) Stepped and horizontal cracks were
originated in the bottom of both the wythes
of south side pier of out of plan west wall
i.e. BMCWP-4 and at the top of north side
pier i.e. BMCWP-3.

0.30 1) The north wall piers were rocked at the Rocking + vertical
bottom. splitting + shear
2) Some vertical cum horizontal and stepped
shear cracks were observed in the side’s
piers of south wall. Also corner cracks
developed between the east wall and south
wall. The middle pier and east side pier were
rocked at the bottom. Also the other cracks
of the same pier propagated and widened.
3) Some vertical and horizontal and shear
cracks were noted in the out of plane east
and west walls. The North side pier of west
wall was also rocked.
0.36 1)All the cracks of north wall propagated Rocking + vertical
and widened. splitting + shear
2) Some vertical cum horizontal and stepped
shear cracks were observed in the side’s
piers of south wall. The middle and west
side piers were rocked at the top. Some
bricks at the top were displaced and move
outwards.
3) Horizontal cum vertical cracks was seen
in the out of plane east and west walls.
0.42 1) The north wall piers were rocked at the Rocking + vertical
top. splitting + shear
2) Some vertical cum horizontal and
stepped shear cracks were observed in the
side’s piers of south wall. The west side pier
was rocked at the bottom.
3) A large Nos. of Horizontal cum vertical
and shear cracks was seen in the out of plane
east and west walls.

0.50 1) A large No of horizontal cum vertical and Global Rocking +

shear cracks were seen in the middle of east vertical splitting +
and west side’s piers. Also these cracks were shear
noted in the spandrel above the east side
pier.
2) A large Nos. of Horizontal cum vertical
and shear cracks was seen in the out of plane
east and west walls.
3) The two piers i.e. BMCWP-4 & 5
making a south west corner were rocked
together at the top and bottom.
4) The bricks at upper end of east side
 pier of south wall i.e BMCWP-07 and
upper end of east side pier of north wall
i.e BMCWP-01 were crushed

0.80 The bricks at upper end of west side pier Crushing failure of
of south wall i.e. BMCWP-05 are crushed bricks
and bricks at upper end of east side pier
of north wall i.e. BMCWP-01 were
crushed and fallen down.
