Has the aforementioned paper on masonry modeling already been published or is it available?

Please, see in this link above.

See in this figure an example of a static analysis that compares a T-section model with another model connecting two rectangular T-shaped walls with "Rigid Link".

Note that the results of displacements in the direction of the force are different. Shouldn't they be the same?

Sorry, but I tried to do this and it didn't work. Could you send me an example in SeismoStructure about a T-section wall made by assigning a Rigid link to connect the two different rectangular members (web and flange) in such a way that it has the same horizontal displacement as another T -section ...

Dear z.gronti,

I tried to do that but it didn't work. This is because a model with one T-section bar has different stiffness than another one made, for example, with two bars (web and flange) connected by "Rigid Link".

That is, they present different displacement results.

Could you explain better ...

Dear z.gronti,

"The masonry element type can only be used with the mas_par and the mas_tl material models. Similarly, only the special masonry section types mws and mss can be employed."

As the masonry element type only allows rectangular sections, I don't know how I can represent the partially ...

Hi Burak,

Did you manage to do this in SeismoSruct?

Dear omeligy,

Did you manage to do this model in SeismoSruct?
