masonry and timber
The cantilever masonry wall shown below has the following properties:
8" normal weight concrete masonry block (compressive strength of block is 3250 psi)
Fully-grouted wall with normal weight grout (140 pcf), wall weight =84psf
Type S mortar (mortar-cement)
Check if this wall is adequate for the following load cases:
w1=2,000lbft(no eccentricity, e=0)
w2=500lbft
w3=1,000lbft
w4=35psf
P=10,000lb=10kips
w4 and w1
P and w1
When calculating each load case (1 to 7), check each of the following design stress cases. If one of the stress cases does not apply, state so. Also, for each load case state whether or not the wall can be analyzed per foot of wall and which stress cases governs the design. The design stress cases to be checked are:
Axial stress
Shear stress
Compressive flexural stress
Tensile flexural stress
Combined axial and flexural stress
