Ε. LOAD-BEARING MASONRY REINFORCEMENTS

19 CHAPTER E: ' LOAD-BEARING MASONRY REINFORCEMENTS' 3.2.1 Strengthening in bending out of plane about the horizontal axis Tensile strength is given by the option for out-of-plane bending strength about the horizontal axis. After entering the reinforcement data and checking again, the following results are obtained All transoms except 9 and 11, which had no problem, no longer have a tensile problem. The same result would have been achieved if I had placed a reinforced concrete jacket The sheathed tensile test is shown in a separate printout. I then reopen the checks.
