SEISMIC CALCULATIONS on TERRA BLOCK WALLS

for

EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE

(TERRA BLOCK exceeds normal design requirements)

 

The following independent engineering calculations are based on a typical one story home made of dry stacked Terra blocks without the recommended sealant/bonding agent and high strength plaster/stucco, which increase wall strength. Even though the wall was incomplete it still surpassed normal requirements.
