TY - JOUR AU - Tanaka, Takeshi AU - Okoro, Peter AU - Das, Hassan AU - Pal, Abdul TI - Modelling Masonry Load-Bearing Walls with Gauss-Seidel Iteration JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 1979 VL - 3 IS - 1 SP - 782 EP - 794 AB - Engineers responsible for municipal water supply frequently encounter problems whose solution requires a close study of masonry load-bearing walls. Throughout, Gauss-Seidel iteration provides the basis for the comparison between theory and observation reported here. A simple correlation is obtained that fits the data with a scatter of less than 11%. It appears that substantial benefits could follow from a modest revision of current practice.
