Contact pair!

(OP)
Hi everyone!

I'm doing a research about concrete and masonry and the important subject it's all about the interface.
I'm new to Ansys, but I managed to create and see some nice results for both materials (reinforced concrete and masonry) using simple examples. Now I want to use contact pair elements to make a joint but it seems that the interface only works with a frictional coefficient, but I wanted to control its behavior according to tensile and compressive strength.
 Anyone can give me some tips?
