Introduction to Strength Design of Reinforced Shear Walls In this section, we shall study the behavior and design of reinforced […]
Masonry Structural design
This book was developed from a set of masonry course notes used for many years in a semester-long, undergraduate and graduate course in masonry engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. It covers the design of masonry structures using the 2009 International Building Code, the 2008 Masonry Standards Joint Committee Code and Specification, and other documents referenced by those standards. The book is intended for an undergraduate or a graduate course in masonry as part of a civil engineering or architectural engineering curriculum. It can also be used for self-study and continuing education by practicing engineers. It emphasizes the strength design of masonry, and also includes allowable-stress design.
Strength Design of Reinforced Beams and Lintels
Strength design of reinforced masonry beams follows the same steps used for reinforced concrete beams. The basic assumptions are shown
Strength Design of Unreinforced Panel Walls
Examples of Use of Unreinforced Panel Walls Panel walls commonly comprise the masonry envelope surrounding reinforced concrete or steel frames.
Strength Checks of One-Way Shear for Unreinforced Panel Walls
The examples of Sec. 5.1.3 through 5.1.7 in this chapter dealt with design of unreinforced panel walls for flexure. In
