Dear,

I would like to model Masonry structures according to chapter 11 of ASCE 41-17. Please let me know which software may be useful??

Thank you in advance,
Sincerely

Dear rezalatifi,

You may use the masonry element available in SeismoStruct.

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??

Sincerely,

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.
