EXAMPLE 7. VALUATION OF A BUILDING FROM LOAD-BEARING MASONRY

EXAMPLE 7: 'VALUATION OF A MASONRY BUILDING' 6 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION Geometry The ground floor building under study, made of load-bearing masonry, includes 10 external facades with openings and 6 internal facades. Materials For the construction of all the walls of the carrier, a double 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 slabs and B500C quality steel for the reinforcement. The building will be considered to be staked at its base. Regulations Eurocode 8 (EC8, EN1998) for seismic loads. Eurocode EC8-3 for the assessment of load-bearing masonry buildings under seismic loading. 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 ± (epicentric torsional moment loads resulting from the epicentric forces of the earthquake XI displaced by the random eccentricity ±2eτzi).
