When designing a Shearline using MASS, the software relies on you to determine how the wall behaves
The Shearline module in MASS is a useful tool to quickly and easily determine
How to model individual storeys of a multi-storey shear wall within MASS
In the absence of a true multi-storey MASS module, there are steps that can be taken to use MASS effectively for these types of designs
The MASS software is a useful
Seismic Behaviour of 1/3 Scale Masonry Structures
Description: Extensive testing has been carried out at McMaster University towards the modelling of complex masonry structures and system behaviour through use of 1/3 scale concrete block units.
