Dear STKO team, I want to ask two questions.
Q1: Since there is no test data, are there any recommended values for the DAMAGETC3D parameters of C1 C2 C3 Gt Gc when I model masonry structures?
Q2: Are there any recommended values of the DAMAGETC3D parameters of C1 C2 C3 Gt Gc when I model concrete structures?

Hi xgx,
There can not be a unique solution for those parameters. If you have a lack of data I will advise you to try ASDConrete3D material where you can use 1P preset. It will allow you to use a minimum of parameters and the rest will be calculated automatically. You can always then go into detail and try to calibrate better your parameters.

Dear Valentina,
Thank you for your advice, I'll try to model masonry structures according to your advice.
Best wishes to you.

You are welcome. Just remember that ASDConcrete3D fits better for the concrete (the formulas used for 1P preset based on MC2010 and some papers). Masonry parameters you will need to calibrate on experimental results.
