I am trying to determine how to calculate the out of plain deflection under the ASD method for a masonry wall. The only reference I find is the iterative approach used for slender walls. This approach requires the strength level calculation of the Mcr. Is there a way to find the Mcr for service...
The ASCE chapter 12 provides formulas for calculating over strength values but gives no information on when over strength is required. Anyone know when and when not to calculate over strength?
