Clay Brick Lattice Screen Wall Design

Clay Brick Lattice Screen Wall Design

(OP)
Does anyone know how to design a Brick screen wall that is erected with lattice configuration (i.e. the wall is roughly 25% open due to the brick layout.  Or have any reference material that would help.  

RE: Clay Brick Lattice Screen Wall Design

Is every other course continuous? Or is each course interupted?

RE: Clay Brick Lattice Screen Wall Design

(OP)
Every course is interupted.

RE: Clay Brick Lattice Screen Wall Design

Try it as unreinforced.

RE: Clay Brick Lattice Screen Wall Design

I think you would have to consider a two course strip spanning horiz. and acting as series of moment connections.  Convert the moment into a stress and make sure it doesn't exceed the allowable shear stress in the mortar. I doubt it would span more than 6 to 9 feet depending on the wind load.  I had a similar condition recently and I could not find any information on how to design. Let me know if you find any references on how to design.
