Manual/information on Modelling of Masonry in Abaqus?

06 June 2015 1 2K Report

I'm looking for some kind of detailed information, like a manual for Finite Element Modeling of unreinforced masonry shear walls in Abaqus.

Mohammad Bolhassani

Please see the attached files. This model has been used for masonry assemblages in abaqus, but you can use it for masonry shear walls as well.
