Hello, first of all, please see ATENA Troubleshooting, sections 2.2.7 I have problems when using the Interface (GAP) material on contacts and 2.1.19 My analysis results do not match the experiment/expectations. How can I improve my model?

Infill RC frame under cyclic load

Hello,

I modeled an infill RC frame with brick masonry under cyclic loading. Mortar joints are modeled by elements interfaces. After several cylces, brick masonry are output from the frame. In reality they are not out of the frame.

i am looking for your guidance and council.

Thanks
