Hi all! My name is Alessandro Paparo and I am a phd student at EPFL in Lausanne (CH).

I am wondering if Opensees was already used for some analysis of unreinforced masonry wall buildings (for example are present the different failure mechanisms, is present the sigma-epsilon behavior of a masonry wall?)
Thx in advance for your kindness

Do you want to use fibersection or use simplified macromodel approach?
I can help you with macromodel approach (particularly equivalent frame method).
