EXAMPLE 5. NEW BUILDING DESIGN FROM LOAD-BEARING MASONRY

EXAMPLE 5: 'DESIGN OF A LOAD-BEARING MASONRY BUILDING' 5 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 Geometry The ground floor building under study is made of load-bearing masonry and consists of 6 facades with openings.The foundation is a general cavity foundation. 1.2 Materials For the construction of all the walls of the carrier, a single wall will be used, with natural carved stone 20x20x25 and cement mortar M5, called "Stone wall M5 0.50". Concrete of C20/25 quality will be used for the paving and B500C quality steel for the reinforcement. 1.3 Regulations Eurocode 8 (EC8, EN1998) for seismic loads. Eurocode 2 (EC2, EN1992) for the dimensioning of concrete elements. 1.4 Loading - analysis assumptions Dynamic Spectral Method with homosynchronous torsional pairs. The loadings according to the above analysis method in SCADA Pro are as follows: (1) G (permanent) (2) Q (mobile) (3) EX (epicyclic loads, earthquake forces at XI, from dynamic analysis). (4) EZ (epicyclic loads, ZII earthquake forces, from dynamic analysis). (5) Erx ± (epicontic torsional moment loads resulting from the epicontic forces of the earthquake XI displaced by the random eccentricity ±2eτzi).
