my theise topic is design of multistorey masonry structures..in which i m going to design g+4 reinforced & unreinforced masonry structure..so can anyone guide me how to select the thickness of wall at the base level?
If it is an RCC Structure , rcc beams are supposed to be designed to take load along with Slabs . At plinth level/ Gr Floor level plinth beams shall take the load and at other levels combination of beams +slab takes the load . And in such case where RCC buildings are designed ( which is true for G+4 Structure) with the system as mentioned above the peripherial or boundary condition walls should be 230 mm – 250 mm and partition walls should be 115 mm – 125 mm.
