Compressive stress due to weight at base

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 = = = = =
