Hi All,
I know it’s not preferred, but has anyone used core filled reinforced block walls for out of plane lateral loads? I’m looking at a relatively small structure that has a 3m high cantilever wall (supported at base). The wall has sufficient robustness for a 0.5kPa load. The wall also has about 6.5kNm/m bending capacity, so could theoretically support about 2kN/m line load laterally along the top. Am I missing anything?
Thanks
