The following data are collected for a modulus of rupture test on a refractory brick (refer to Equation 6.10 and Figure 6,14): F= 5.0 x 10 N. L = 200 mm, h = 130 mm. h= 80 mm. Calculate the modulus of rUpture: (b) suppose that you are given a similar rolracioty with the fall Spensin and same dimensions except that its height Sit ts only 60 mm. What would be the load (F) nece sary to break this thinner refractory?

Masonry Units

Concrete masonry is among the most surplus building materials present since a wide range of aspects can be accomplished using Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) as they have more benefits than stone or brick masonry. CMU are manufactured in a variety of shapes, colors, sizes, and patterns for various functions and finishing. Due to their modular properties, different CMU can be mixed in the same wall for various textures, colors, and so on. For the formation of the concrete blocks, cement, aggregate, and water are required.
