    Eccentricity ratio(e/t) greater than 1/6

    Q) A 22 cm thick brick masonry wall carries an axial load of


    12 kN/m and eccentric load of 27 kN/m at a distance of 7.33
    cm from the axis of wall. Design the masonry for the wall if its
    slenderness ratio is 16, Assume that joints are not raked

    Solution,
    Thickness of wall (t) = 0.22 m
    w1 = 12 kN
    w2 = 27 kN
    e1 = 0 m
    e2 = 0.0733 m
    𝑤 𝑒 +𝜔 𝑒
    Resultant eccentricity(e)= = 12𝑥0 + 27𝑥0.073 = 0.05075 m
    𝑤 +𝜔 12 + 27
    Eccentricity ratio=(e/t) 0.231 >(1/6)
    Since eccentricity ratio is more than (1/6) there will be tension on
    one face and effective thickness of wall should be reduced Cl 5.4.1.4(b)

    Find Stress Reduction Factor

    Cl.5.4.1.1
    and Table 9

    e/t= 0.230664 = 0.23066


    For Value of e/t=0.23066 and Slenderness Ratio=16, Value of
    Stress Reduction Factor (Ks)
    0.16667 0.63
    0.25 0.58 Table 9

    Ks = 0.5916

    Find Area Reduction Factor (Ka) and Table 9

    Assume, Length of Wall = 1m


    Thickness of Wall = 0.22
    2 2
    Area of Section (A) =(1*0.22) = 0.22 m > 0.2 m
    OR
    As no length of wall is given ,assume area of Section (A) > 0.2 m2
    Ka = 1
    Ka = 1
    Cl. 5.4.1.3
    and Table
    Find Shape Modification Factor (Kp) 10

    Brick Size= = 230*115*57


    Height of Brick Unit = 57
    Width of Brick Unit = 115
    Height of Brick Unit/Width of Brick Unit = (57/115) = 0.49565

    For Height to Width ratio of brick unit <0.75 = 1


    (Kp) = 1
    Find Basic Compressive Stress (fb)
    We can increase permissible stress by 25% as per cl.5.4.1.4 (b)

    Permissible Stress (fpc)= fb*Ks*Ka*Kp =1.25*fb*Ks*Ka*Kp

    . .
    𝑓 = = = 0.59336 N/mm

    . .

    From table 8 in code strength of brick should be 7.5 N/mm2 and


    Grade of mortar M1
    Now,
    For Value of 7.5 N/mm2 find new shape modification factor
    (Kp) = 1
    For Value of 7.5 N/mm2 find new basic compressive stress
    Basic compressive stress (fb) = 0.74 N/mm2
    Permissible Stress (fpc)= fb*Ks*Ka*Kp =1.25*fb*Ks*Ka*Kp = 0.54723
    fpc = 0.54723 > 0.43879008
    Hence Safe
    Provide
    Mortar type = M1

    Crushing Strength of Brick = 7.5 N/mm
