Ε. LOAD-BEARING MASONRY REINFORCEMENTS

11 CHAPTER E: ' LOAD-BEARING MASONRY REINFORCEMENTS' • At the same time in the horizontal joint The angular deformation developed is of the following form The results of the project are as follows To calculate all the above quantities (angular deflection δed and failure deflection Rd) the height Ho shown in the figure above was used. In both cases the program finds the two nodes with the maximum and the minimum displacement respectively and in the first case δed is the difference of the two displacements by their horizontal distance L while in the second case by their vertical distance Ho. The failure rotations are calculated in the same way. Finally, the choice of the data reliability level (to obtain the appropriate γm=γw) and the way of building the masonry which has to do with the limits in terms of deformation when the pile is controlled by shear (page 7-26 KADET) were added.
