Requirements of masonry infilled wall in reinforced concrete structure

The inner wall of the frame structure is a infilled wall. When the height is more than 5.5 meters, concrete belts should be set, and ring beams are not allowed. The reinforcement configuration of the belt is determined by the engineering construction drawing, and the specification does not stipulate that there must be stirrups. See GB 50011-2010 Code for Seismic Design of Buildings 13.3.4.

Masonry infilled walls in reinforced concrete structures should meet the requirements of specifications.

This wall is more than 5 meters long.

When the wall is more than 5m long, there should be Rachel reinforcement between the top of the wall and the beam.

This wall is more than 8 meters long, which is twice as high.
