Masonry Design
Learning Outcome:
Student will be able: To explain design concept for unreinforced masonry wall. To design load bearing brick wall and wall panel.
Main Materials:
Primary Usage:
Replace by reinforced concrete due to superior strength and cost. Recaptured market through aesthetic value Structural, thermal and acoustic (sound proof) properties.
Fire and weather resistance Faster and cheaper Maintenance free and durable Can be Reinforced and Prestressed
Materials
Bricks or Blocks Mortar or Grout Wall ties (BS 1243 or DD140) Damp-proof
Symbols
t - actual thickness of wall h - height of panel between restraints L - length of wall between restraints A - cross-sectional area of loaded wall Z - sectional modulus tef - effective thickness of wall hef effective height of wall (Cl. 28.3.2) K - effective thickness coefficient (Table 5, BS) depend on spacing of piers and tp/t. ex - eccentricity of loading at top of wall - slenderness ratio (SR), hef /tef - capacity reduction factor (Table 7, BS 5628) depend on =hef /tef and ex. Fk - Total characteristic loads Gk - characterictic dead load (BS 648: Schedule of Weights for Building Materials) Qk - characteristic imposed load (BS 6399: Design Loadings for Buildings, Part 1) Wk - Characteristic wind load (CP3: Chap. V: Wind Loads) f - partial safety factor for load (Clause 22, BS 5628) m - partial safety factor for materials: 2.5 3.5 (Table 4, BS 5628) fk - characteristic compressive strength of masonry (Table 2 & Clause 23.1, BS 5
