Blueprint: Confined-Masonry Wall System — Build Specification

DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT, NOT LOAD-TESTED. Build specification derived from Aldred, 'A Confined-Masonry Wall System for One-Storey Stabilised-Earth Housing' (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.24109150). Specifies 140 mm stabilised-earth block walls (1.90 MPa) for a 7.2 m by 4.8 m, 2.7 m high one-storey house, with 150 mm by 140 mm reinforced-concrete tie-columns at no more than 2.4 m spacing (10 columns) and a continuous 150 mm ring beam: layout, quantities bill, construction sequence, computed seismic envelope ending at 0.291 g (in-plane shear of the short walls, capacity 0.0811 MPa; out-of-plane limit 0.344 g at 2.4 m spacing), tolerances, failure modes, maintenance, and independent verification items stating plainly that seismic performance is computed only and local code and engineering review govern. Reinforcement detailing is not stated in the source paper and is assigned to a qualified engineer. All performance numbers are from the source paper; no wall was built or load-tested.
