Masonry remains today an essential, even indispensable at buildings in Morocco, however, the lack of experimentation led to the neglect thereof in digital computing models especially the panels with openings. On the other hand, damage in seismic zones showed a significant participation of the latter on failure modes of a structure. It is noteworthy that the Moroccan earthquake regulations RPS 2000 Version 2011 advocates modeling masonry infill panels with two equivalent rods [cf. Art No. 7.3.3]... Read More»
