R2: Example. Reinforced Brickwork Beam

Design a simply supported reinforced brickwork beam to clear span 3,80m carryinga characteristic dead load of 20,0kN/m (includes self-weight) and a characteristic

single imposed load of 8,0kN/m. The bricks to be used have a declared (air dry)compressive strength (non-normalised) of 55N/mm2 and are of Group 1configuration with the manufacturing control being category I. The mortar is classM6, (designation ii) General Purpose mortar and the masonry work is to class 1execution control.
