Sisbrick is a new class of earthquake-resistant building material that seismically isolates partition walls from themain building structure, significantly reducing the tension between these two elements and, therefore, the damage incurred.This paper is mainly dealing with developing a technique to isolate/insulate the masonry infill from the main structural frameof the building so as to make the theoretical and practical considerations to be somewhat identical. This can be done byproviding such type of brick which will able to resist and absorb the movement at that point only, from where it transfers tothe whole infill so as prevent the formation of compression struts and consequently prevents the damage/failure to column orother structural element with which it is connected.
