Design of Masonry

Introduction: Brick masonry units, Concrete masonry units, types, grades and properties of concrete masonry units, mortar, grout and plaster. Masonry construction, types of bonds, bond at connections, types of joints, contraction and expansion joints

Brick Masonry in Buildings: Brickwork, brick walls, brick columns and piers. Allowable stresses, cross sectional area, shape factor of units, slenderness ratio. Type of loading, net permissible stresses, composite brick concrete piers. Bed stone and bed plates.

Laterally loaded Masonry Structure: Structures and loads, stability of masonry, masonry dams, retaining walls.

Foundations, Piers, Walls and Abutments: Wall and column footings in buildings, bridge foundations, the substructure, loads on substructures. Determination of safe bearing capacity. Lateral load resistance of well foundations.

Structural Design: General, Load Dispersion, arching action, design thickness/cross section. Design of foundations, piers, walls, dams and retaining walls, design of RBC slabs, lintels, Reinforced Brick columns.

Masonry Arches and Domes: Arches in buildings, stability of masonry arches. Design of masonry arches by elastic theory. Analysis of masonry domes � stability of masonry domes.

Seismic Design of brick masonry buildings
