Description

Name of Sheet :-Masonry Wall Design at Horizontal Bending, Based on ACI 530-02

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

• SPECIAL INSPECTION ( 0=NO, 1=YES )
• TYPE OF MASONRY ( 1=CMU, 2=BRICK )
• MASONRY STRENGTH
• REBAR YIELD STRESS
• SERVICE LATERAL LOAD
• THICKNESS OF WALL
• WALL HEIGHT
• PILASTER SPACING

ANALYSIS

• Pilaster spacing less than one half the unsupported vertical span of out-of-plane wall. (MDG-3,page 11-8)
• Pilaster stiffness greater than that the tributary area of wall. (CBC 2106A.1.7)
• CHECK WALL HORIZONTAL BENDING CAPACITY
• CHECK SHEAR CAPACITY
