3Muri

In General

3Muri software is an advanced solution for the analysis of masonry construction, combined with the presence of other materials such as concrete, wood and steel.The advantage key that makes it special is that it performs a complete non-linear seismic analysis (push over) through an extremely flexible and user-friendly graphical environment in masonry buildings which demand special treatment in terms of how we study them.

The basic idea of the program is the fact that the immediate claim construction analysis from masonry led to computational methods tested for reliability. Advanced finite element models or highly simplifying methods have been used at times to approach the behavior of this type of construction. 3muri is based on the theory of a non-linear macro-element (FME-Frame by Macro Element) which is similar to that of classical finite element and has been confirmed through experimental models.

Advantages

Detailed design of bearing walls

Complete design of masonry structures via inelastic static analysis. The advanced element using the algorithm of the program reduces the active degrees of freedom governing the behavior of the structure and thus significantly reduces the computational time required to solve the problem. The evaluation of seismic behavior can also be achieved through non-linear spatial time history analysis.

Friendly work environment

Direct determination of the geometry of the body (walls, bind-beams, openings, plates) through the graphical interface, or via file import DXF. Easy discretization of the model sub-elements with different thickness, length, material and other properties.

Easy modelling of mixed structures

Possibility of calculating mixed structures consisting of different materials i.e. steel or wood, etc. Embedded database connections morphology for most of these species and parameters specified by the user. Automatic recognition of the connections and easy simulation.

Soil-structure interaction

Usability of spring constants for the incorporation of soil-foundation influence. AutoFill option restraints for the foundation.

Very fast computation

Rapid solution of the structure with automatic discretization of complex construction such abnormal structures with mixed materials, different types of foundation, etc. Ability to include accidental eccentricities in the analysis.

Detailed check of results

Direct supervision of the analysis results so the user will fully understand the behavior of the structure. Visual display of damages which have occurred at each step and also after the completion of the push over curve. Ability to control residual strength for each member, technical report in full print-situation and finally easy choice to export tables or other data file in EXCEL sheets.

Reliability and safety

3muri program is certified through experimental results on real structures which are subjected to earthquakes. The accuracy of results is striking, confirming the reliability of the application.
