[Anonymous]

hi

I have building with two stories (two slabs ) as shown in the following pic

slabs are supported on masonry wall

how can I modelate this Building using robot

please give me detailed video

I know  There is no devoted masonry structure module in Robot   but i want  a better suggestion

Your efforts are much appreciated

many thanks rafal for reply

I have read all  articles about it  and i can say i understand the following steps  :

 great  wall  and it must connect to the  slab and reducing  moment of inertia for slab

add linear releases to slab and wall (tob and bottom ) (pinned ) 

add new material for wall

Am I on the right ?

Yes, you are.

My question is by the model can I determine whether the structure is structurally adequate/not? What should be checking parameters for masonry structures? I checked Deformation/seway/deflection are almost zero for the brick/massonry wall structure? Please clarify this as I am confused. Thanks a lot in Advance.
