Abstract: In the analysis and design of tall buildings which his structural system is based in the\nemployment of the type of frame subjected to lateral load is indispensable the incorporation of elements to increase the stiffness of these constructions that guarantee the reduction from the horizontal displacements to permissible limits. In Cuba, the shearwalls constitute the more employees elements. The use of the reinforced masonry with blocks in which gross strength compression is 12 MPa is proposed. In Cuba the gross strength compression that is used at the moment is 7 MPa, below the international suggestions for this material.\nThe present work highlights the design to flexocompression of a shearwall of reinforced masonry considering blocks with gross strength compression of 7 MPa and of 12 MPa, following the requirements that the NC 774:2012 establishes. With this purpose, a 13 levels building is modeled with the employment of the analysis program and design Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2014.
