    you can only consoder out of Plane horizontal load?. for Wind analisys. for earthquake analysis you have "in Plane" lateral force. It Is possibile to consider this?

    An in-plane wall moment (Mz) and horizontal racking shear force (Qz) can be applied to the wall. These can be shared between the inner and outer leaves, by applying an Outer Leaf Contribution percentage. You can also opt to have the in-plane section remaining planar with the Mz distribution.

    Great package. Can you design a cavity wall with an outer leaf of stack bond brickwork?

  • @MasterSeriesUK

    @MasterSeriesUK

    Жыл бұрын

    Thank you Jason. Yes, you can design a wall with stack bond brickwork. Although you will need to consider that stack bonding will not have the same flexural strength in the horizonal direction as some of the other bond types, as it will introduce continuous vertical joints into the masonry. MasterSeries allows the manual input of the flexural strengths (fxk1 (parallel) and fxk2 (perpendicular)). Stack bonding and similar forms of masonry construction, which introduce continuous vertical joints into the masonry, require bed joint reinforcement to ensure the integrity of the masonry. Within MasterSeries, bed joint reinforcement can be added in the Rebar option. The bed joint rebar can be user defined using equivalent 3mm to 5mm bar sizes or be selected from a library of proprietary products, for example, Ancon or Bekaert ranges of reinforcement.

    @@MasterSeriesUK Thank you for letting me know. We are undertaking design to BS 5628. However, we cannot locate the flexural strengths for stack bonding (fxk1 and fxk2). Are you able to point us in the right direction. As an alternative we are looking to utilise two leaves of dense blockwork to form the cavity wall with slip bricks to form the stack bonding pattern to the external elevations.

    ​@@jasonburstow3332 Jason, KZread wants to block all links to content I have provided. In stack bond masonry, heavy concentrated loads will be carried down to the support by the particular vertical tier or “column” of masonry under load, with little distribution to adjacent masonry. It is for this reason that BS 5628 does not recognise stack bonding as a “normal masonry bond pattern” when indicating calculation values for use by the designer/engineer. I would recommend looking at the Technical Note within the Brick Bulletin for Autumn 2010 which addresses Stack Bond specifically (last 2 pages).
