Dear Artur
Thank you for your response.
The main aim of this modelling to do the structural model for (Masonry building confined with RC beams, tie columns and slabs) as shown in the screen shot.
The brick works will be considered as (Bearing walls) and purpose of these tie RC columns to improve the horizontal and vertical bearing walls capacity (Membrane and shear stiffness of walls) whether gravity or seismic loads But (No flexure).
Could you help me how to do the best modelling for this type of structures?
My attempt as you see in the capture below.
1. Could you verify if I defined correctly the Masonry wall as Bearing wall is or not? Because still I have flexure moments at the corners of these walls. Which shouldn’t be appeared.
2. I would like to define the beams just rested on the bearing walls and its transfer only vertical loads to the bearing walls.
3. How do I defined the lintels where don’t have any tensile stress in the upper part of the wall over it.
Note: for your reference I sent you in (PM) full document concerning this structure type
Also , rtd. File is attached
Best Regards
Refaat
