Dear Developers,
I am trying to model a concrete wall which behaviour is controlled by flexural and shear deformations. I was therefore wondering whether there is a concrete material which I could use in conjunction with brick elements? Or could you recommend any other way of modelling the problem?
Thanks a lot for your help,

What is the aspect ratio of the wall in question? Also what is the type of wall you are working with, rect, T, C, etc. I am working on T-walls and am using fiber beam-column elements, it is fast to solve, and for a rectangular wall I modeled gave me very good results. The wall had a aspect ratio of 3:1. T-walls don't waor as good but I am trying to fix that now. Hope that helps..
shear deformation with fiber elements
how do you take into account the shear deformation in walls (which is the predominant mode of deformation) using fiber elements (1D, Bernoulli beam, plane cross section theory behind it...)?
