Allowable Masonry Shear Stress
Allowable Masonry Shear Stress
(OP)
What would the allowable shear stress be for an un-reinforced masonry wall that is loaded out-of-plane? Seciton 2.2.5.2 of ACI530 applies to in-plane shear stress (i.e. shear walls).
Would 2.3.5.2.2 of ACI be applicable even though this section is for reinforced masonry?
Thanks for your input.
