Distributed Masonry Load
Distributed Masonry Load
(OP)
I am designing a Masonry structure w/ wood trusses. My grade beams are rather large. So I was wanting to reduce the load of my masonry blocks. I know that you can reduce the distributed load of masonry, to a triangle, but not for sure what the parameters are for doing this design. Is there any suggestions or the location in the code, because I'm rather unclear for this design.

Try www.brickinfo.org. They have several technical papers covering most every aspect of masonry design and construction related issues.
