MC Masonry Check

MC Masonry Check is an application born from the collaboration between CSPFea and ASDEA. It is a post-processor for the linear and nonlinear checks of masonry structures modelled as equivalent frames or plates.

The software was developed to integrate with Midas software, importing its structural models directly, but it uses an open format that allows results from other applications to be imported and post-processed as well. Its strength is the ability to perform a wide range of checks for masonry buildings according to the NTC 2018 (the Italian technical standards for construction), including the main linear checks and the processing of the capacity curve.

Applications:

• linear shear and bending strength checks of masonry piers and spandrels for equivalent frame models (beam);
• linear shear and bending strength checks of masonry piers and spandrels for continuum models (plate);
• capacity curve check after a nonlinear analysis, for any type of model: beam, plate and solid.
