About this document
Design Codes for Masonry Structures by Sujay Santra is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document reviews design codes for masonry buildings. It discusses limitations on axial load for columns based on their slenderness ratio to prevent buckling. The ACI code sets permissible axial load as a function of slenderness ratio and load eccentricity, while the IS 1905 code uses a stress reduction factor that considers both. For combined axial and flexural loads, the ACI code uses an interaction equation where the sum of normalized axial and flexural stresses must be less than 1 to ensure safety.
