The modelling of masonry veneer under dynamic load
Abstract
The seismic performance of masonry veneer in Australia is largely unknown. A simple finite element model simulating masonry veneer under both static and dynamic loads has been developed. Dynamic results from time domain analysis are presented together with possible refinements to the original finite element model. Results of static analyses using the model are also briefly presented.
