How to correctly simulate the behavior of masonry infill in RC structure in horizontal direction and define masonry stiffness?
Is it possible in ARSA to define nonlinear properties of such elements that simulate masonry infill?
The same addresses to the possibility to define dampers in the model. Is there any method to define it?
For comparison, in SAP2000 you can use 'Link" elements where you define Link/Support type as: Nonlinear Plastic, Damper, Gap, Hook, Plastic (Wen), Rubber isolator, Friction isolator and so on.
