Hello everyone
I am modelling masonry infilled RC frame in ANSYS Mechanical APDL and defining joints (between mortar-mortar, infill and RC member) using cohesive zone material model. But the global base shear vs -displacement response which I am getting is not comparable to experimental values. I have tried changing the parameters of czm model but then also I am unable to get any close response, both in-terms of peak as well as initial stiffness.
I have attached the image of plot and model for your reference.
Can anyone help me with this?
Any suggestion what could be the mistake or any changes that can make it correct?
Thanks
Regards
Himanshi
It might be quite difficult to predict in ANSYS APDL. So, it's better to solve using Ansys workbench for working work errors easily
This problem is related to material properties and contact. You can check them again or you can upload your model to check it with you.
Thank You Everyone (@Arun Patil , Eman Mahmoud) for helping.
I am using czm model and calibrating its value for my model but every possible empirical values I have tried and this is the best result which I am getting.
Do anyone have idea for calibrating czm parameters for fly ash bricks. For clay bricks, range of values are available in literature.
Himanshi Dewangan Have a look at this paper. I think it will be useful for you.
