I might use wind post C channel 105 x 60mm it is not going to create projection as the wall 140 thick, however, what should I fill the gap with behind the post e.g 140mm - 105mm =35mm gap?
I designed the wall for 1 meter length, and the horizontal bending moment due to lateral force is less than the wall capacity. If I design the wall spanning vertically, adding the wires will not help as it will still fail. As I said, I considered the wall edges are all supported. Therefore, the...
What is 15m bar @ 1200 o/c? what does that mean?
The utilization I have got now is 0.4 but that for 2 ways spans. As I mentioned it will fail if I design the wall supported top and bottom but that is not the case.
Can you send me copy of your calcs?
5 kN/m dead load , 5 kN/m Imposed load and 1.4 KPa wind load. If I design the wall spanning two way, 1 meter long all edges supported, the wall will pass and the utilization is low, however, if I only support the wall top and bottom, the load span only one way, the wall will fail on horizontal...
If I deign the masonry to span only vertically, the wall is never going to pass, it will terribly fail. however, when designing the wall 2 ways, it will not fail. I believe the only matter here is the shear , vertical load.
Yes but when I check the wall , I need the height and length of the panel. In my case, I got 3 meter height, but was not sure what is the length shall I check for. The wall was failing even for 7 meter length, I thick I should add bedding reinforcement.
Thank you that is very helpful.
One more thing, when I need to design the block wall, shall I use the full length of the building 7+4=11m or just till where is internal stud wall intersection 7m?
Hi
when designing a small residential property with external timber wall clad and masonry, should you consider the external wall against lateral forces?
