Appendix A1
Example 1 Standard Design
This consists of a standard articulated masonry veneer house subjected to the following constraints: Design Y values
Ys = 100mm
Deflection ratio = 1/400 (30mm absolute limit) No tree effects
Refer to copy of program on the next sheets.
This is followed by the printer output. In this case the Display Full Results option was used which will give you the option of FEA Node Data i.e. the bending moments, shears, deflections per centre and edge heaves in each direction – these pages are printed as an example.
NOTE: The program was developed to be in complete accordance with AS2870-2011 and hence the differential mound movement Ym centre (70mm) and Ym edge value (50mm) are calculated and observed in the display.
It is recommended that a sheet be included to show how the house plan was modeled for analysis purposes. Space is allowed for on printout sheet of the calculations.
