Can SeismoBuild analyze reinforced masonry walls using linear dynamic analysis
Posted: 21 Jun 2026, 00:42
Hello,
I would like to know whether SeismoBuild can analyze Reinforced Masonry (RM) walls according to ASCE/SEI 41-23 and perform their evaluation using a Tier 2-3 procedure, including:
Linear Static Procedure (LSP)
Linear Dynamic Procedure (LDP)
Nonlinear Static Procedure (NSP / Pushover)
Nonlinear Dynamic Procedure (NDP)
If SeismoBuild supports these analyses for reinforced masonry walls, could you please explain:
How reinforced masonry walls should be modeled in SeismoBuild.
Which material and element properties should be assigned.
Where in the software the ASCE 41-23 evaluation options are defined.
How to perform a Tier 2 assessment of reinforced masonry walls.
Whether the software automatically checks the acceptance criteria for shear-controlled and flexure-controlled masonry walls according to ASCE 41-23.
Where I can find documentation, examples, tutorials, or verification reports related to reinforced masonry wall assessment.
