State of Haryana - Section

Section 31 in Haryana Municipal Building Bye-laws 1982

31. Thickness of walls.

- Where walls of buildings are constructed of bricks, stones blocks or of other hard and incombustible material laid in horizontal beds of courses, every wall or part of a wall shall be so designed and constructed as to be capable of safely sustaining and transmitting the dead loading and the superimposed loading to which it may be subjected calculated in accordance with the Scheduled V annexed to these bye-laws so far as it is applicable and the horizontal and inclined forces to which it may be subjected without undue settlement or deflection and without exceeding the intensity of pressure on the materials as given under:-Maximum permissible uniformly distributed compressive stresses on walls with slenderness ratio of unity :

Explanation. - Average crushing strength of individual burnt bricks when determined by standard test approved by the Public Works Department to be not less than 105 kg. sq. cm. Allowable stress can be increased by 20 per cent in the case of local loadings.For occasional loads such as wind and earth quakes, the allowable stress can be increased by 33 per cent.When sheering or tensile stress occurs, the permissible stress to be taken is one-tenth of the maximum pressure figures given above.
