Distribution of Forces

Walls have 3 functions• Resist vertical compression

• Resist bending stresses from

• Eccentric vertical loads

• Transverse loads due to wind, earthquake, or blast loads.

• Referred as out-of-plane loads

• Resist in-plane shear and bendingfrom lateral loads applied to building system in direction parallel to plane of wall.

Stiffening Effect of Cross-Walls

• Effective thickness of walls stiffened by piers/cross walls/buttresses is obtained by multiplying the actual thickness by a stiffening coefficient.

• Cross wall is replaced by an equivalent pier equal to thickness of the cross wall and thickness equal to three times the thickness of the wall.

IS: 1905 – 1987 Approach

Eccentricity Appendix A, IS : 1905

Eccentricity depends on

• extent of bearing

• magnitude of loads

• relative stiffness of slab or beam & wall

• degree of fixity at the support.

• requires judgment

Code provides guidelines :

Determining Eccentricity

Exterior Wall

Determining Eccentricity …

For flexible diaphragms when span is less than 30 times thickness

Eccentricity = (Bearing width /6) due to sagging moment even with full bearing

For rigid diaphragms when span is less than 30 times thickness

Eccentricity = (Bearing width /12)= 0 for full bearing

For span is greater than 30 times thickness, eccentricity must be calculated.

Interior Wall : (Unequal Spans)

If R1/R2 lies 0.85-1.15, consider load to be axial else floor load is assumed to act at a distance equal to t/6and then overall eccentricity is determinedR2

• Load bearing wall

• Free standing wall

• Infill walls

Free standing walls need to be checked under stability against overturning.

NOTE:

1. This approach is beyond ACI & UBC and may give higher values than those based on limited allowable tensile strength.

2. Because wall is partially cracked, it is not prismatic along its height. Stability of wall must be checked based on Euler criteria modified to account for “cracked” masonry. (Ref: Structural Masonry, S. Sahlin)
