Modelling Masonary Bearing Wall in Etab

(OP)
thread802-370603: Modelling Load bearing brick walls over steel beams.
How can I model masonary bearing wall in etab. some old buildings have unsafe columns but they are still found becouse masonry walls work as structure elements and help columns to trasfer loads finally to foundation.
so we need to model these masonary walls in structure analysis programms when we design them.
Thanks

BY equivalent strut you can put the brick wall between the column . How to Convert brick wall to equivalent strut?? There is quation in FEMA 273 or FEMA 356 guide line.

RE: Modelling Masonary Bearing Wall in Etab

Refer to Section 7.5 of FEMA 356, dealing with Engineering Properties of
Masonry Infills.

A good structural engineer is often a blessing for others.
