Specification: Soldier Pile and Lagging Wall Design

Strength design of reinforced masonry beams follows the same steps used for reinforced concrete beams. Strain in the masonry is assumed to have a maximum useful value of 0.0025 for concrete masonry and 0.0035 for clay masonry. Tension reinforcement is assumed to be somewhere on the yield plateau. Because axial load is zero, flexural capacity is ... ................
