I would like to ask if deal.ii is capable of simulating failure due to separation of the elements such as collapse and breakage since the structure is brittle in nature(masonry)? It will be coupled with blastFOAM using preCICE.

"Capable" is a word that can have many meanings. If you have several years of work, you can probably do that. If all you care about is computer game graphics like several of the snippets in the video, it shouldn't even be very difficult to just do this with simpler methods. But if you want it to be accurate and realistic, then this is a major undertaking on the scale of a PhD project or maybe multiple -- which you can do in deal.II, but you shouldn't expect it to be easy (nor will it be in any other finite element library, simply because the *physics* of what you want to do is difficult).

Best
 WB
