Hi
The question arises when the composite floor the wall is normally sitting on sags due to a fire below heating the supporting beams. The performance of the wall at this point is being investigated.
I suspect the wall will arch, however is there any supporting documentation you are aware of...
Does anyone know where I could find out the maximum span of an unsupported 215mm masonry wall. The wall would be supported only at its ends and would be tied into other walls at those ends.
Imagine the floor the wall was on 'disappearing'.
Thanks
Matt.
