brickwalls on two way slabs
brickwalls on two way slabs
(OP)
Can anyone help me to convert loading from a brickwall ( say 9") running over almost the entire length of a two way slab 20 ft X 15 ft, to an equivalent udl?
The formulas found in BS Code and Australian Code are for one way slabs only.

RE: brickwalls on two way slabs
If the slab has continuous support on all 4 sides, then we used to divide this load over 2m(6feet) and then apply this pressure over the entire slab. I dont know what the scientific basis was to this but it seemed to work.

This gives you your charecteristic live load for partitions which will need to be factored as appropriate for ultimate design.
