Design of Masonry according to EN 1996 - 1 - 1, version 8.0

The 12 modules of calculation are shortly described below

Calculation of loads

Determination of design horizontal and vertical load

Combined walls

Distribution of horizontal and vertical loads via wall-ties in combined walls

Horizontal loaded rectangular wall

Determination of load capacity for a rectangular, horizontal loaded wall. The wall can be exposed to vertical loads. Openings (windows and doors) can be inserted.

Horizontal loaded polygonal wall

Determination of load capacity for a polygonal, horizontal loaded wall. The shape shall be concave (e.g triangular or five-angular shape). Openings (window and doors) can be inserted.

Vertical loaded wall (Ritter)

Determination of load capacity after the Ritter method for a vertical loaded wall without openings. The wall can be exposed to horizontal load as well.

Vertical loaded wall (EN 1996 - 1 - 1)

Determination of load capacity after the method described in EN 1996 - 1 - 1 for a vertical loaded wall without openings. The wall can be exposed to horizontal load as well.

Vertical loaded storey high walls of light weight concrete (EN 12602)

Determination of load capacity for a vertical loaded wall without openings. The wall can be exposed to horizontal load as well.

Veneer wall

Determination of load capacity for a veneer wall supported by columns of wall-ties

Tie - wire

Determination of load capacity for a tie-wire with a pre-usage deformation and exposed to differential movement

Masonry beams

Determination of load capacity for a masonry beam exposed to uniform load and a number of single loads.

Shear walls

Determination of load capacity for a wall exposed to in-plane loads

Archs

Determination of load capacity for normal arch or arch defined inside plain walls
