Dear,

Thanks for the reply.
There are some safety checks/possible failure mechanisms/acceptance criteria for unreinforced/reinforced masonry structures, e.g., Toe-crushing/bed-joint sliding strength. How is possible to check them??

Dear rezalatifi,

Please refer to Appendix H2-ASCE of SeismoStruct's User Manual so that you will be able to learn how Code-based checks are executed for masonry sections in SeismoStruct.
