Hi,
Its not stated as per which code this sheet has been prepared.
1) It does not take into account the material properties say E for the frame material and masonry, and the I's for the columns and beams that are in contact with the masonry, hence arising in a more conservative approach.
Is it as per codal requirement that these do not have to be taken into account when deciding the width of the strut?
