Wall Reinforcement Calculator
Calculate vertical and horizontal rebar spacing and size for reinforced masonry or concrete walls under lateral load.
How to Use the Wall Reinforcement Calculator
- Enter the wall height in metres.
- Enter the wall thickness in mm.
- Enter the design lateral load in kPa.
- Click Calculate to see rebar spacing and recommended size.
使用场景
- •Designing reinforced masonry retaining walls.
- •Checking rebar requirements for tall partition walls.
- •Structural assessment of existing reinforced walls.
- •Construction documentation for building permits.
公式
Moment M = q × H² / 8. Rebar spacing and size are determined from moment and wall geometry.
常见问题
What is lateral load?
Lateral load is a horizontal force on the wall — typically wind pressure or earth pressure behind a retaining wall.
When is wall reinforcement required?
Reinforcement is generally required when walls exceed 3 m height, resist significant lateral loads, or are in seismic zones.
