DESIGN OF MASONRY WALL

DESIGN CRITERIA:

fy = 276 MPa

f’c = 20.7 MPa

WIND LOAD:

PWL = Ce q S CQ I

Where:

Cq = 1.2 inward (wall element)

Cs = 1.2 (exposure c)

i = 1.15 (essential facilities from table 207-3)

qS = 2000 N/m2 (horizontal pressure)

PWL = 1.2 (2000 N/m2) (1.2) (1.15)

PWL = 3312 N/m2

Considering 1 m. strip of wall:

PWL = WWL – 3312 N/m2 (1 m.)

PWL = 3312 N/m

Wu = 0.9 WDL + 1.6 WWL + 1.6 Wh

= 0.9 (0) + 1.6 (3312 N/m) + 1.6 (0)

= 5299.2 N/m = 5.299 kN/m

ρ = 0.00329

Check for ρmin:

ρ < ρmin (Therefore use ρmin = 0.00507)

As = 0.00507 (1000 mm) (75 mm)

As = 380.25 mm2

S= 297.43 mm adopt 400 mm

(Since the CHB is based on a 200 mm module, the spacing of the reinforced bar is a
multiple of 200 mm, use 12 mm ∅ vertical bar spaced @ 400 mm.)
