title = "Case study on CA technique for mapping cracking patterns of new masonry panels",
abstract = "This paper investigates the existing Cellular Automata (CA) technique for mapping cracking pattern of new panels, in order to be clear about the function of two important parameters in this technique. The parameters include the initial parameter describing boundary type and the transition coefficient relating to the propagation of boundary effect. The approach of the investigation uses individual panels with different sizes as the base panel to map the cracking patterns of new panels with different sizes, together with changing the transfer coefficient and the initial boundary conditions. The mapped cracking patterns of new panels are verified by the experimental results. The case study shows that the smaller panel can also be used as the base panel to map the cracking pattern of a larger panel. Thus, the case study further develops the application of the CA technique and also implies what other improvements in the technique could be made in the future.",
