ASD Chapter 2, MSJC Code, check compressive and tensile stresses in a load bearing unreinforced
masonry wall: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Allowable tensile stress of masonry, due to flexure (bending) only (Fb - psi or MPa) |
|
|
Specified compressive strength of the masonry (f'm - psi or MPa) |
|
|
Moment on unit length of wall due to lateral load (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 (An - in^2/ft or mm^2/m) |
|

Buckling load, Pe = |
|
|
Check is P < or = Pe/4? |
|
|
fa/Fa + fb/Fb = |
|
|
Is fa/Fa + fb/Fb < or = 1? |
