Check Reinforced Masonry Wall for Axial Compression With or Without Flexural Stress:
 
Calculation:
Designer/Checker:
   
Input:  
   
 
(Note: All input Metric units are converted to English units for the equations below and then the output English units are converted back to Metric)
 
ASD Chapter 2, MSJC Code, check  compressive and tensile stresses in a load bearing reinforced masonry wall:
     
Specified compressive strength of the masonry (f'm - psi or MPa)
Moment on unit length of wall (M - in-lb/ft or N-m/m )
Axial compressive load on the wall (P - lb/ft or N/m)
Eccentricity of the axial compressive load (e - in or mm)
Moment of Inertia of the masonry unit (I - in^4/ft or mm^4/m)
Thickness of the masonry (t - in or mm)
Height of the wall (h - ft or m)
Radius of gyration of the masonry (r - in or mm)
Net area of masonry per unit length of wall (An - in^2/ft or mm^2/ft)
Area of steel reinforcement per unit length of wall (As - in^2/ft or mm^2/m)
Allowable reinforcement tensile stress (Fs - psi or MPa)

Bending stress on the masonry, fb =
Allowable bending stress, Fb =
Check is fb < or = Fb?
Slenderness ratio, h/r =
Compressive stress from load, fa =
Allowable compressive load, Pa =
Allowable compressive stress, Fa =
Check is fa < or = Fa?
Buckling load, Pe =
Check is P < or = Pe/4?
fa/Fa + fb/Fb =
