Masonry Compound Wall

This document provides calculations for determining wind loads and stresses on a freestanding masonry wall. It includes the height and width of the wall, wind speed data and terrain category, calculation of design wind pressure, wind forces on the wall and barbed wire, bending moment and shear at the base, and compressive and tensile stresses at the base. It is determined that the base width of the wall needs to be increased to reduce the tensile stress, which exceeds permissible limits. Thickness of the wall is also calculated at various heights.

Maximum tensile stress at extreme fibre for vertical bending

Check for tensile stress According to 5.2.3.2 of IS 1905:1980 Code of practice for structural safety of buildings: Masonry walls (second revision), permissible tensile stress for freestanding vertical walls in vertical bending is 0.07 N/mm2. However, the tensile stress at base of wall at ground level amounts to 0.3 N/mm2, therefore, exceeds the permissible value. The base width of wall is to be increased for tensile stress design. The thickness of wall at various heights is given by: t Thus t at height 1m from top t at height 1.5m from top t at height 2m from top t at height 3m from top = = = = =
