Hi Everyone, This happened 2/3 days ago. What do you think about it. http://www.theprovin...fCUOHTk2qSvwErf I would say, vortex shedding can move it like that.. whats your take?? Reagrds,

This is an old post yet I want to contribute briefly for the reference of other visitors; Masonry columns or walls are good for the gravity loads but not for lateral loads (from earthquake, wind or non eccentric loads). In normal construction of houses its ok to use masonry but if large earthquakes may effect then the use of reinforced columns and corners/joints is preferable for providing lateral stability while the gravity loads still being resisted by the brick walls. In case of special usage gypsum blocks with lined reinforcement can also be used. Now a days the use of hollow blocks is also being carried out which blends well with the concrete columns.
