Ε. LOAD-BEARING MASONRY REINFORCEMENTS

4 CHAPTER E: ' LOAD-BEARING MASONRY REINFORCEMENTS' 2.1 Bending out of level 2.1.1 Performance level A, checks in terms of forces For the checks in terms of forces, it is sufficient to leave the checkbox "checks in terms of deformations" inactive. • At the same time in the horizontal joint Two methods were incorporated to calculate the load-bearing capacity of unreinforced masonry elements in out-of-plane bending. 1. The first method is in accordance with paragraph 7.6a of paragraph 7.3 of K.A.D.E.T. by considering the inert area for bending about a horizontal axis using the following formula fd : the compressive strength of the masonry (the program uses the average compressive strength fm divided by the corresponding safety factor) 2. The second method is according to the classical view of the overlap of the solids of the stresses (not included in the KADET) and the following relation is applied: Mm ax ,1 = (fxd , 1 + νd * fd )* t 2 *l/6 fxd,1 : fxk,1/cm Flexural design strength of masonry for bending parallel to the horizontal joints νd*fd =σ0 t : wall thickness l : length of the wall As for the two different methods, the options are shown in the following dialog box 2.
