State of Haryana - Section

Section 38 in The Haryana New Mandi Townships Building Rules, 1967

38. Thickness of walls - Determination by stress calculation - [Section 4(2)(1) and (h)].

- Whenever walls of a building are constructed of bricks, stones, blocks laid in horizontal beds of courses; every wall or part thereof shall be so designed and constructed as to safely withstand and transmit self and superimposed loads, vertical, horizontal or inclined coming on to it without exceeding the intensity of pressure on the materials as given below :
*Description of wall   Allowable safe pressure in mertric ton per sq. metre (tonssq. ft.) (Slenderness ration not exceeding six)
1. Burnt bricks in cement mortar (1:3) to (1:4)   87.50(8) M Tons
2. Burnt bricks in lime mortar (1:2) or cement mortar (1:6)   43.75(4)
3. Burnt in mud mortar   27.50(2½)
4. Coursed Rubble masonry (other than Ashler) in cement mortar(1:4)   98.50(9)
5. Coursed Rubble masonry (other than Ashler) in lime mortar(1:2) or cement mortar (1:6)   49.25(4½)
6. Random Rubble masonry in cement mortar (1:4)   87.50(8)
7. Random rubble masonry in lime mortar (1:2) or cement mortar(1:6)   43.75(4)
8. Ashler masonry in cement mortar (1:3) with 1:3:6 massconcrete backing   131.25(12)
9. Ashler masonry in lime mortar 1:2 or cement mortar 1:6 with1:4:8 mass concrete backing   65.65(6)
10. Blocks in 1:3 cement mortar average crushing strength ofblock not less than :    
  (a) 34 Kg. Sq. cent. (500 Lb' Sq")   21.90 metric tons/sq. metre (2)
  (a) 70 Kg. Sq. cent. (1000 Lb' Sq")   43.75 metric tons/sq. metre (4)
  (a) 140 Kg. Sq. cent. (2000 Lb' Sq")   31.30 metric tons/sq. metre (3½)
* Explanation - Average crushing strength of individual burnt bricks when determined by standard test approved by the Administrator to be not less than 105 Kg./Sq.Cent (1493.5 lbs./in") allowable stress can be increased by 20 per cent in the case of local loadings.For occasional loads such as wind and earthquake forces the allowable stress can be increased by 33 per cent.When shearing or tensile stress occurs the permissible stress to be taken is one tenth the maximum permissible pressure given above.
