We present a method for the design of brick and ceramic blocks loadbearing walls. This methods is based on the verification of design stresses in critical points of the wall structure. The method considers the interaction and the connection among loadbearing and shear walls designed to carry imposed loads and lateral forces, taking into account the structural behaviour of each wall. Strength reduction factors due to slenderness and eccentricity, bending moments caused by floor loads, wall columns, stiffening walls, accidental eccentricities or the effect of lateral forces are analyzed. The basic mechanical properties of ceramic materials, compressive and shear strength are previous defined.
