EN 19996-1-1 Design Check for Lateral Resistance of Church Walls

Cl. 6.3, Philosophy of Design Check;
Cl. 6.3.1 (1)
Applied Moment on Masonry , M E d ≤ Moment of Resistance , M R d

Cl. 5.5.5 Applied Moment on Masonry, MEd;

Note: The Wall was idealized to behave like a cantilever under horizontal
load. Thus, the walls experienced bending moments at the bottom.

Thus,
M Ed ,1=F hd × H

H=3000 mm; Height to eaves

M Ed ,1=F hd ×3000

Moment of Resistance, MRd;

Cl. 6.3.1 (2) M R d=f xd × Z
