CONFINED BRICK MASONRY

Post by 9953338602 »

Dear all,
I am doing my research work in confined brick masonry for my PhD. I would like to know that can I model a confined brick masonry building by using latest version of SeismoStruct.

The masonry model and the corresponding masonry materials in SeismoStruct is highly adaptable with numerous parameters that can be calibrated for the case of confined brick masonry.
For instance, you could change the compressive strength, the strain at peak stress and the descending branch parameter of the mas_par material. Similarly, you could change the parameters in the masonry element class type.
Unfortunately, you do not have specific rules on how to calibrate all these parameters.
