2. MODELING

CHAPTER 2 "MODELLING" 139 ❖ Cloak This option is activated when you have joints larger than 15 mm and is used in the case of wall fillings. In the case where the use of sheathing in masonry is required, its geometric characteristics, the quality of materials and reinforcement are defined. You also define how the reinforcement is anchored. This option is only taken into account in wall fillings according to the CEE. ❖ Equivalent Wall The overall results for the masonry are calculated by the program, based on the data considered, and transferred to the global table. - If the user knows the values for the equivalent wall, he can enter them directly. Typical masonry strength fk: Apart from the characteristic compressive strength of masonry resulting from EC6-1-1, the designer can calculate and enter it as a final value, based on another scientifically accepted method (Tasios - Chronopoulos (1986) O.Brocker, Tasios (1985)) In addition, in the case of reinforcement with Deep Mortar or Enemeta , you define here the compressive strength of the reinforced masonry according to the respective formulas: (Deep Harmony) (Enmeta)
