Block ratio; ratio = h unit / l unit = 2.0

Ratio between 0.6 and 4.5 - OK
Characteristic compressive strength; fk = 11.05 N/mm 2

Loading details
Characteristic dead load; G k = 80 kN
Characteristic imposed load; Q k = 26 kN
Design load on bearing; F = (G k  1.4) + (Q k  1.6) = 154.2 kN

Masonry bearing type

Bearing type; Type 2
Bearing safety factor;  bear = 1.50

Check design bearing without a spreader

Design bearing stress; fca = F / (B  lb ) = 3.854 N/mm 2
Allowable bearing stress; fcp =  bear  f k /  m = 4.736 N/mm 2
PASS - Allowable bearing stress exceeds design bearing stress

Check design bearing at 0.4  h below the bearing level

Slenderness ratio; h ef / t ef = 12.00
Eccentricity at top of wall; e x = 0.0 mm
From BS5268:1 Table 7
Capacity reduction factor;  = 0.99
Length of bearing distributed at 0.4  h; ld = 1160 mm
Maximum bearing stress; fca = F / (l d  t) = 0.664 N/mm 2
Allowable bearing stress; fcp =   f k /  m = 3.126 N/mm 2
PASS - Allowable bearing stress at 0.4  h below bearing level exceeds design bearing stress
