Information about parameters for code based checks (Material Type: mas_par)

[pcandeias]

Hello all,

I am working on SeismoStruct 2021 Release 3 Build 2.

I am starting to explore the mas_par and the mas_tl material types for the inelastic masonry frame element. Can you indicate bibliographic references for the parameters for code based checks? For instance, I cannot establish a clear relation between the parameters for the shear strength and EC8-3.

Dear pcandeias,

Please refer to the Masonry Elements section of the Appendix H in SeismoStruct's User manual, where you may find all the equations used for the code-based checks with the corresponding references to the Code.

Dear Zoi Gronti,

thank you for pointing that out. Clearly, the information available through <F1> was insufficient.

Best regards,
