I was asked if it is possible to replace the rc walls with rc block masonry walls on a building.
The rc walls are not part of the lift-core and stair shafts hence it can/may be assumed as gravity walls. The stress levels are quite small (less than 3.0MPa).
I designed the rc walls with two...
Hi All.
I am curious where the 3.0MPa limit is from in Clause 11.5.2(b) for walls.
I expected this limit to be a factor of the concrete strength (e.g. 0.03f'c in Clause 11.7.1(a)).
Anybody knows where this limit from?
