Abstract
Three analytical problems arise in the design of brick masonry structures, which relate to (1) the distribution of vertical loads amongst the various walls in the building, (2) the determination of eccentricity of loading on walls, and (3) the distribution of lateral loads on the walls. Conventionally these problems are resolved in design calculations by rather arbitrary assumptions, but they can be treated more rationally by the methods described in this chapter.
