  2. Hello Everyone, I would like to draw your attention to questions being asked in message boxes instead of being posted on forum. The reason I am raising this is that recently I have seen a spike of inbox messages addressed to me asking for solutions rather than the question being posted on the forum. I assume others are getting similar messages. FYI, I don't have access to inboxes and all your conversations are 100% private. I would like to request everyone to please ask questions on the forum and discuss it on the forum instead of inboxes. The reason being that the discussion can be beneficial for the rest of the community and also other members can then critique or appreciate an opinion. Let me know should you have any questions. Thanks.

  3. Very important message! I myself have received questions in my inbox more than once, from some of the forum members asking for help on various technical matters. However, I have always advised them to put the questions on the forum, as it has multiple advantages, both for the originator as well as for rest of the forum members. By posting the question on the forum (instead of sending to an inbox), the problem is visible to all the members, and it is likely to get not only a quicker response but more & better responses as well. In addition, the question and responses are helpful for rest of the forum members in general, and those members particularly who do have same problems but somehow (due to shyness etc) couldn't ask the same questions on the forum themselves. In view of the above discussion, I strongly second the opinion of UmarMakhzumi, for posting of problems to the forum itself, instead of sending them to inboxes of moderators or other forum members. Regards.

  4. Assalam-o-alaikum! The term 'load bearing structure' is commonly referred to a structure, in which the superstructure loads are transferred to the foundation, through masonry walls. These walls may consist of plain or reinforced masonry. Here are a few good books dealing with design of structural masonry: 1. Manual for Des of Plain Masonry in Building Structures, Institute of Struct Engineers, UK, 1997 2. Design of Structural Masonry by McKenzie, 2001 (BS & Eurocode 6 based) 3. Structural masonry designers’ manual by Curtin et al., 2006 (BS 5628 based) 4. Masonry Structural Design by Klingner, 2010 (IBC 2009 & MSJC-2008 based) 5. Design of Reinforced Masonry Structures by Narendra Taly, 2010 (IBC 2009 & MSJC-2008 based) Besides, you may find several other resources on the internet, dealing with design of load bearing masonry structures. Regards.
