Assumptions <br /> 1.Wall is load bearing. <br /> 2.Wall is partially or fully grouted with reinforcement. <br /> 3.Wall is single-wythe and CMU is in running bond. <br /> 4.This calculator dees not consider in-plane shear forces(ie.wall is not a shear wall). <br /> 5.This calculator dees not consider in-plane overturning moment(ie.wall is not a shear wall). <br /> 6.In plane seismic resistance is not considered in this calculator <br /> 7.Stability checks for wall foundations are not conducted. <br /> 8.A small amount of tension can be resisted by the steel reinforcement.Anchorage and uplift are not checked in this calculator. <br /> 9.Bottom support of wall is continuous(ie.not spanning between point supports). <br /> 10.Calculations are for per linear length of wall. <br /> 11.Walls shorter than 1 ft(305mm)are not supported in this calculator. <br /> 12.This calculator assumes only one row of reinforcement centred on the width of the block. <br /> 13.Deflections criteria are not considered in this template as section 8 of TMS 402-16(which governs the ASD design of masonry walls)does <br /> not include any clauses relating to deflection. <br /> 14.The fully grouted masonry wall does not consider the slenderness limit following the examples in MDG 2016. <br /> OF <br /> o ar <br /> t <br /> a <br /> tK,YAL <br /> Greenfield Rev 3 Page 16 of 52 <br />
