Hi, is there anyone has the experience in modelling and solving masonry structural system ? currently im facing the issue in inputting the data of interaction between the blocks of masonry. i'm trying to model 3 storey masonry (material : Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) ) building in ABAQUS program by implementing 'macro-modelling' technique, where the block size is 200x400mm including 10mm thickness of mortar joint.
Hi everyone,
I'm working on UEL and studying wave propagation in beam. I have a special purpose beam element defined in UEL which has four nodes. When the beam is horizontal and a vertical load is being applied, it's working perfectly:
