Popis:	This paper presents the finite element analysis (FEA) study of Green Concrete Hollow Block (GCH block) system. The designed system is the new approach for Malaysia construction industry to replacing the traditionally construction system. The blocks are interconnected through tongue and groove besides 20 mm protrusion provided for the self-alignment features. This study utilized explicit dynamics procedures offered in ABAQUS software to analyse the GCH block prism under axial loading. Several input parameters are taken from previous study to complete the analysis process. The simulation is conducted to analyse the structural behaviour in terms of its ultimate load, cracking patterns, deformations and also the stresses distributions. The analysis results show that the Green Concrete Hollow Block (GCH block) system is suitable to replacing the traditionally bonded masonry system.
