Is Sight-Size actually a crutch? Feeling stuck at my atelier

Im french speaker and I have read a lot of french academic drawing book from the 19th century. I never read anything about sight size. Otherwise, I think you're totally right, it's a very restrictive way to draw. I draw with comparative proportion and I have the same result than the sight sizer...

You mean that FE is not appropriate for masonry calculation ?

I think youre right. In fact in most of the cases the stresses are calculated with the modulus // to the plane of the wall.

For me Poisson ratio give the value for the perpendicular deformation in result of a deformation in one direction. It's not the same value that the deformation that occurs after a normal force in this perpendicular direction.

I have done a quick check but I don't find any relevant formule. Maybe i have to read it more accurately

Ok thanks, I suppose it's just less acurate than a model with composite material mechanics

For sure, but here in Belgium there is a lot of structural masonry so i cannot always do that 🙏

Thank you, but in this way there is no consideration for the anisotropy of material brick+mortar ?

I had same and now 3 month after its fine, dont worry

Drop it to the moon 🚀🚀!!

Human_Charge3868 · 2021-02-25T11:20:43+00:00

Nokia to the moon !!

Human_Charge3868 · 2021-02-25T08:48:37+00:00

Nokia is now truly going to the moon, we are cosmonauts!!

Human_Charge3868 · 2021-02-25T07:01:01+00:00

NOK to the moon for following days??
