This example shows that economical reinforced masonry partition walls can be designed for large spans (in this case 20 ft), in high seismic areas, and for critical locations (egress stairways).
Reinforced masonry: Masonry in which bars or mesh, usually of steel, are embedded in mortar or concrete so that all the materials act together in resisting forces. Prestressed masonry: Masonry in which internal compressive stresses have been intentionally induced by tensioned reinforcement. Confined masonry:
Reinforced masonry shear walls must be designed for the effects of: 1) gravity loads from self-weight, plus gravity loads from overlying roof or floor levels; and 2) moments and shears from in-plane shear loads
Reinforced Masonry - Reinforced Brickwork Stem Cantilever Pocket-Type Retaining Wall. A reinforced brickwork earth retaining wall 3,65m high has to support a graded sand and gravel backfilling with drainage.
Introduce masonry shear walls and applied loads on these critical elements. Discuss seismic detailing requirements for masonry shear walls. Review the strength design provisions for masonry shear walls for combined axial load and bending and for shear. Overview maximum and minimum reinforcement limits and detailing of shear walls. 4.
introduction to structural design of reinforced masonry In the preceding lecture on structural design of masonry, we have seen examples of unreinforced masonry bearing walls.
