In this paper we study a new type of interlocking brick recently proposed by the authors. The brick has a symmetrical geometry with four concavo-convex side surfaces for the interlocking purpose. Drop weight tests have been conducted to investigate the mechanical response of interlocking assembly plates by applying different levels of impact force and lateral confining load. The results show that, compared with monolithic plates, the new interlocking assembly plates have significantly improved flexural performance in terms of impact energy absorption capacity. The fracture of individual bricks during the impact always occurs along a load transmission path that is determined by the geometrical constraints of the interlocking bricks. Most importantly, the interlocking design of the plate-like assembly can effectively prevent the propagation and spread of the cracks, so that the damage to a single brick will not lead to a catastrophic failure of the entire structure.
