Hi,
I have "Reinforced Concrete Masonry Design" by Mujumdar. He has an example of calculating masonry wall rigidities on pg 240
Basically he says R is proportional to 1/delta = EI/H^4, since E and H are constants:
R = L^3
So, rigidity equals the length of the wall cubed. All walls are 30' or less. Is this a widely accepted way of calculating the wall rigidity? Or better yet, is this method accepted on the SII exam.... Any other references out there?
Thanks, -K
