Effective length of a continuous wall is 0.8L when there is no opening within _________ of the height of the wall.(a) One-fourth(b) One-eighth(c) One-sixteenth(d) One-halfThe question was asked during an interview.I would like to ask this question from Effective Length and Thickness of Wall topic in chapter Load Bearing Walls of Construction & Building Materials

Answer»

Correct option is (B) One-eighth

The best I can explain: Effective length of a CONTINUOUS wall is 0.8L when there is no opening WITHIN one-eighth of the HEIGHT of the wall. Therefore, when the opening in the wall is not closer than H/8 from the cross wall, then the effective length is 0.8, where H represents the actual height of the wall.
