DESIGN FOR SHEAR



For shear design in masonry walls subjected to out-of-plane loading, the shear stress in a masonry element, f _v, is found as follows:

fv = V/b_wd

Where:
V = The shear load, lbs.
b = The width of the masonry element effective in resisting out-of-plane shear - Click Here for values
d = The depth of the masonry element effective in resisting the shear - Click Here for values

For shear design in masonry walls subject to in-plane loading (shear walls) the shear stress in a masonry element is found as follows:

f_v = V/A_e

Where:
V = The shear load, lbs.
A_e = The area masonry element effective in resisting in-plane shear - Click Here for values
