Masonry Reinf. @ Openings

Masonry Reinf. @ Openings

Masonry Reinf. @ Openings

(OP)
I'm trying to design reinforcing in a Masonry Wall both sides of opening...How can do that?
The same design of wall or a element under "Axial-Flexure" like a Pilaster.
Thanks

RE: Masonry Reinf. @ Openings

I take the wind load from half the opening, and resist it with a 16" or 24" width of CMU adjacent to the opening.  This jamb will almost always be heavily reinforced.

RE: Masonry Reinf. @ Openings

(OP)
I did the design like a Panel Wall from window to window taken both half windows as a tributary areas and the panel of 40" wide, but the reviwer told me to design like a Reinforced Masonry element using "Pa" and doing the Equilibrium of Forces in Tension "C" and Compression "C" and I don't really know how to do it. The only way that I've using Equilibrium Equation is for a Shearwall. Anybody can help me.
Thanks
