Question

Check the design of the following unreinforced masonry wall to see if it is adequate. A 14 ft simply
supported wall (vertically spanning) that is built using 8” medium weight CMU and Type N Masonry
Cement Mortar (only face-shell bedding). The wall is resisting a factored gravity dead load of 5000 lb/ft at
the top of the wall with an eccentricity of e = 0.5”. Only check the wall at the top of the wall, which you can
ignore the self-weight (use load combination of 1.4D and magnify the moment using TMS 402 Section
9.2.4.3)
