Masonry Wall Design - 2

The document provides details on the unreinforced masonry wall design for a proposed apartment development. It specifies the wall dimensions, material properties, and load calculations. The wall is a single-leaf masonry wall that is 2250mm tall and 1000mm long. It consists of solid masonry units with a compressive strength of 7MPa in a class II mortar. Load calculations determine the effective height and length, slenderness ratio, eccentricity, and vertical load resistance. The results indicate the vertical load resistance of 335kN/m exceeds the calculated load effect of 155kN/m, thus the wall design meets requirements.

CRICTICAL LOAD CASE :

Load case number 1


Load case description :

CHARACTERISTIC COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF THE MASONRY UNIT


SABS 0164 - 1980 Part I - Tables 3a) & 3b)

Characteristic compressive strength as specified = 7MPa fk=7MPa


Unit cassification : Solid, non-modular block unit, aspect ratio = 1.33
Characteristic compressive strength = 7MPa fk=7MPa

COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH MODIFICATIONS


SABS 0164 - 1980 Part I - §4.2.2.2

Plan area < 0.2m², therefore


Modification factor = 0.93MPa MF=0.93
MF = 0.7 + 1.5 . A
= 0.7 + 1.5 ×0.15
= 0.9250
Modified fk =6.48MPa fk=6.48MPa

DIMENSIONAL LIMITS FOR IN PLANE LOADING


SABS 0164 - 1980 Part I - §5.1.2.2 and §5.1.2.3 and §5.1.1 and Table 6

Enhanced horizontal restraint, two edges : Effective height is 0.75h, 1688mm heff=1688mm
Enhanced vertical restraint, one edge only : Effective length is 2l, 2000mm leff=2000mm

Effective thickness, tef = 150mm 150mm


tef = wall thickness for single leaf walls equal to the actual wall thickness

Slendernes ratio = 11 < 27 OK

CAPACITY REDUCTION FACTOR


SABS 0164 - 1980 Part I - Appendix G1 & G2

Calculated eccentricity, ex = 0mm ex=0mm


Additional eccentricity due to slenderness effects, ea = 5.66mm ea=6mm
Total eccentricity, et = 5.66mm et=6mm
Design eccentricity, em = 5.66mm em=6mm

Additional eccentricity:

Total eccentricity:
et = 0.6 . ex + ea
= 0.6 ×0 + 5.66
= 5.660 mm

Design eccentricity:
et > ex, therefore em = et = 5.66mm

b =1 b =1

VERTICAL LOAD RESISTANCE:


SABS 0164 - 1980 Part I - §5.4.1.2

Vertical load resistance exceeds action effect: Cr = 335kN/m > Cu = 155kN/m OK
