this is normal. The simple spring law that bricks are using is
extremly simple. It is not stable. There is gravity and the bricks
touch each other. That's why they are unstable. With bigger damping
maybe it is possible to have a stable brick wall. This law doesn't
know that there are two flat surfaces that touch each other.
