Why masonry walls must not be mixed with clay bricks?
If a masonry wall is added to the concrete structure. Under the influence of lateral force (wind force, earthquake force), the performance of masonry wall and concrete wall is different, the former is rigid and almost unable to bear deformation, while the latter can have certain deformation. The former cannot bend and the latter can bend...... As a result, the masonry walls were destroyed first and lost, and then the members supported by the masonry walls were destroyed, and the whole building was filled with cups.
In fact, it is possible to allow concrete walls to be added to the masonry structure. It's just upside down.
Generally speaking, the seismic performance of masonry structures is weaker than that of concrete structures. Therefore, it is possible to have some concrete frames or seismic walls in masonry, but the building must evaluate the seismic performance according to the masonry structure. But the concrete structure can not consider the masonry bearing, and the masonry wall is the self load wall or the light partition wall.
