Building Construction Handbook, Eighth Edition

(Nancy Kaufman) #1

Construction of half-brick and 100 mm thick solid concrete block
walls (90 mm min.) with attached piers, has height limitations to
maintain stability. The height of these buildings will vary depending
on the roof profile; it should not exceed the lesser value in the

Note: All dimensions are maximum.


Height is measured from top of foundation to top of wall except
where shown at an intermediate position. Where the underside of
the floor slab provides an effective lateral restraint, measurements
may be taken from here.
