The design of contemporary load-bearing masonry structures is based on the structural interaction between various elements of the building (walls, floors and roof) in resisting the lateral loads. On what basis were the traditional (historic) load-bearing masonry structures designed?
What will be an ideal response?
The historic load-bearing masonry wall structures were designed assuming that each wall behaved as an entirely
independent element for lateral load resistance, as if it were a vertical cantilever, like a flagpole–without any
interaction between other walls, floors, and roof.
