first of all pardon me for my poor english writing .
i am a Msc student of structural engineering . i want to model a masonry wall in ABAQUS .
i want to use micro modeling . i model the mortar with cohesive element .
i need your help . the mortar in my project is type M4 but i dont know the specification of this type of mortar like Modulus of elasticity or maximum compressive strength .or maximum tensile strength . in ABAQUS i need this parameters for interaction section ( contact stiffness , Knn , Kss , Ktt , maximum normal stress and shear stress )
please help me how can i find this parameters .
thanks
Only general comment to FEM model:
1) a masonry wall has separated props and can be modeled in various ways
and
2) FRP is far more complex thing to get it modeled (mat. props etc)
In the precise model they should be modeled separately and connected:
(again depending on needs -
a) just directly - say - by connected meshes
b) by special elements for bonding/debonding
If you are searching for one kind of FE then you will get homogenized (with smeared
props) model - however, in this way your research is to find these homogenized properties
So everything depends on exact needs

Sure, Are you looking for 2D or 3D analysis. First of all you will need to find bond-slip model for FRP-masonry interface. For element types, it depends on your analysis type
You may look at my paper, I have attached it here for your consideration.
