    Design Example V1: End Conditions Wall Part of 4 Storey Building

    This document provides design examples for calculating the load capacity of masonry walls. It asks to calculate the characteristic strength of a clay brick wall that is part of a 4-storey building and subject to a vertical load of 180 kN/m. It then asks to recalculate using concrete block masonry units of a different thickness and strength under the same loading. Both calculations are to determine if the walls can withstand the applied loads.

    DESIGN EXAMPLE V1

    Wall part of
    4 storey
    building

    3000mm

    End
    conditions

    Design vertical load = 180 kN/m with no applied eccentricity of loading

    Find the characteristic strength (fk) of masonry made from Group 1 clay brick
    masonry units of standard format size (width 102.5mm) with a normalised
    compressive strength (fb) of 42,5 N/mm2. The attestation of conformity
    (manufacturing control) is Category II and the masonry will be constructed using an
    M4 general purpose mortar using Class 2 execution control. Check that the load
    capacity of such a wall is sufficient to withstand the loading applied.
    Recalculate the above using Group 1 concrete block masonry units with a normalised
    compressive strength (fb) of 20 N/mm2. The masonry units are 140mm in thickness.
    Ignore the self weight of the wall.
