Block unit
Masonry unit = 15.01
Block type = H (S)olid, (H)ollow
Thickness of unit (tu) = 140 mm Compressive strength
Height of unit (hu) = 190 mm Char. comp. strength of unit (f'uc) = 15.0 MPa
Length of unit (lu) = 390 mm Compressive strength factor (km) = 1.6 Table 3.1
Shell Thickness (ts) = 25 mm Char. comp. strength (f'mb = km*√f'uc) = 6.2 MPa - Cl 3.3.2(a)(i)
Self Weight (/m²) = 1.73 kN/m² Joint thickness factor (kh) = 1.30 Table 3.2
AAC masonry = N (Y)es,(N)o Compressive strength (f'm=kh*f'mb) = 8.06 MPa - Cl 3.3.2(a)
Density of block = 2400 kg/m³
Grouting
Grout strength (f'c) = 20 MPa
Design comp. strength of grout (f'cg) = 19.5 MPa Cl 3.5
Grout strength factor (kc) = 1.4 Cl 8.5 ρ>2000kg/m³ = 1.4, 1.2 otherwise
Slenderness limits
Reinforced tr ≥ H/(cv=30) ≥ 100 mm Cl 4.6.3(b)
Reinforcement in core:
Has core = Yes
dsy.c = 260 mm (Central in pier)
dsx.c = 260 mm (Central in pier)
dsy.c = 60 mm (Central in block)
dsx.c = 60 mm (Central in block)
Bending notation:
Bending in length direction is considered
bending about the major axis
Grout strength:
f'cg ≥ 12MPa - Cl 11.7.3
f'cg = min(f'c, 1.3*f'uc) - Cl 3.5
