Calculate Maximum Shear and Moment From Lateral Load on a Masonry Wall:

Calculation:

Designer/Checker:

Input:

Metric Units

(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, calculate the shear and moment on a masonry wall for differing wall conditions:

A. Free at top, fixed at bottom

B. Fixed at top and bottom

C. Simply supported at top, fixed at bottom

D. Simply supported at top and bottom

Uniform lateral load on the wall (w - lb/ft or N/m)

Height of wall (h - ft or m)

Output:

Maximum shear force on the wall, Vmax =

Maximum moment on the wall, Mmax =
