Unreinforced Masonry in RisaFloor
Unreinforced Masonry in RisaFloor
(OP)
I am trying to model an unreinforced brick building in RisaFloor but cannot take out the rebar in the boundary zones. When I move the the model over into Risa3D and model it I am given the stresses in the reinforcement. I want to know if there is any way to not have the reinforcement show up, or if I would essentially have to use the loads and just figure out the stresses in an unreinforced wall by hand.

Maybe it cam handle only a portion of the model codes.

@concretemasonry I used ACI530-99 to try and see if it would let me disregard the steel but it still uses it.
I talked to the guy at RISA and he said they're going to look into being able to remove reinforcing in plane.
