The slenderness ratio for masonry walls should not be more than

A. 10

B. 20

C. 30

D. 40

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The slenderness ratio of a masonry wall is defined as the ratio of its effective height or length to its thickness.

For structural stability, the maximum allowable slenderness ratio for masonry walls is 30, as per standard building codes and engineering guidelines.

If the slenderness ratio exceeds this limit, the wall becomes more susceptible to buckling and instability.

Thus, the correct answer is 30.
