Design Tables for Reinforced Laterally Loaded Masonry Panels

Discover the essential guide for civil engineers and architects in "Design Tables for Reinforced Laterally Loaded Masonry Panels" by R. Cheng, published by Emerald Publishing Limited in 1996. This informative paperback spans 56 pages and provides a comprehensive resource for understanding the complexities of masonry wall design. Unlike isotropic materials, masonry walls exhibit varying strength characteristics, particularly in bending, which presents unique challenges when designing 2-way spanning panels under lateral loads. This book offers practical design tables that simplify the process of designing rectangular panels subjected to uniformly distributed loads, making it an invaluable reference work for professionals in building construction and materials. Enhance your knowledge and streamline your design process with this authoritative text.
