Example
Example: This example calculation is a continuation of the problem presented in the previous topic called Example. This problem demonstrates the design of the bond beam steel in a masonry wall to resist the diaphragm chord action.
- Consider the wind loading in the transverse direction:
- Check the chord design for wind in the long direction:
- Since the required tension load is much lower than the load used to design the chord steel, by observation the chord design is good for longitudinal loading also.
