Design of Free Standing Brick Masonry Wall

1. Geometry:
HTotal = 6.10 m (Total height of Brick Masonry Wall)
Hfree = 3.81 m (Free height of wall) Hfree
Wind (WL)
Hfound = 1.83 m (Depth of foundation from ground level on toe side)
HBF = 2.29 m (Height of backfill retained by wall, H total - H Free ) HTotal Inertia(EL)

b = 1 m (Unit width)
hb = 0.0875 m (Brick Height including 12.5mm mortat thickness on both sides) Psur

2. Material:
3 EQ (BFEL) Surcharge
γm = 18850 N/m (Unit Weight of Masonry) HBF Backfill (BFL) (SUR)
ft,all = 276000 N/m

3.Seismic and Wind Parameters:

Consider EQ = N
αPGA,H = 0.087 g (2/3 of Pseudostatic PGA for site as per fig. A-1, BCP SP-2007)
αPGA,V = 0.058 g (Pseudostatic vertical PGA = (2/3) αPGA,H )
V = 40 m/sec (Basic Wind Speed, 90 mph)
qs 2

Ce = 1.06 (Combined height, exposure and gust factor as per table 5.7, BCP SP-2007)
Cq = 1.3 (Pressure coefficient as per table 5.8, BCP SP-2007)
I = 1 (Importance factor as per table 5.10, BCP SP-2007)

4.Backfill Parameters:
β = 0 Degrees (Slope of backfill from horizontal)
φ = 30 Degrees (Angle of internal friction of soil)
α = 90 Degrees (Angle of wall face from horizontal)
δ = 20 Degrees {Friction Angle = (2/3)x φ}
θ = 5.26 Degrees tan -1 {k h /(1-k v )}
γbf 3
= 18850 N/m (Unit Weight of Backfill)
Ka = 0.33 (1-sinφ)/(1+sinφ) IF(Hwt<=$Hfree,WL*0.5*Hwt,WL*(0.5*$Hfree+Hbf))
Kae = 0.36 As per Equation 11-22, Bowles
