4.2 Strength Design or Limit State Design 4.2.1 Axial Compression
and perpendicular to bed joints. The codes require the section to be checked by
calculating axial and flexural strength.
4.2.3 Shear
For ACI code considers the previously discussed three modes of failure
in evaluating the nominal shear strength of masonry. Similarly IBC 2000 also
considers those factors for determining nominal shear strength of masonry and
differs only in magnitude from the ACI code. Eurocode 6 only considers a
sliding mode of shear failure and prescribes an equation of Mohr-Coulomb
type (Fv = 0.1 +0.4d).
