Abstract
BS 5628 part 1 states that the eccentricity of loads on walls should preferably be calculated but does not indicate how this may be done. This note addresses this problem. It discusses the background work and gives a method of calculating the eccentricity of loadbearing walls between reinforced concrete floors.
