ÖNORM EN 1996-3|Simplified calculation

EN 1996-3 provides simplified calculation methods to facilitate the design of the following unreinforced masonry walls, subject to certain conditions of application.

Simplified calculation methods are given for : 

  • walls subjected to vertical loading and wind loading; 
  • walls subjected to concentrated loads; 
  • shear walls; 
  • basement walls subjected to lateral earth pressure and vertical loads; 
  • walls subjected to vertical loading where the height of the building does not exceed 3 storeys above ground level; 
  • shear walls where the height of the building does not exceed 3 storeys above ground level. 

For those types of structures op parts of structures not covered as above mentioned, the design shall be performed based on Part 1-1. The rules given in Part 3 are consistent with those given in Part 1-1, but are more conservative in respect of the conditions and limitations of their use.

This Part 3 applies only to those masonry structures, or parts thereof, that are described in Part 1-1 and Part 2.
