Answer to Problem 1CQ

If the atoms are in irregular arrangements, the material is amorphous.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A particle or an atom existing in the universe as a smallest unit is called as an atom. A material is made up of such atoms. The arrangement of such atoms may regular or irregular in shape.

In case of amorphous materials the atoms are arranged randomly and there is no order of atoms contained. Example of an amorphous material is silicon.

If the atoms are in irregular arrangements, then it is called as an amorphous material.

Conclusion:

Thus, the complete statement is, “If the atoms are in irregular arrangements, the material is amorphous.”

a) A 14-ft. tall and12-ft.-8-in. long fully grouted reinforced masonry wall is constructed of 8-in.CMU. It is to be analyzed for out-of-plane loading. Construct thenP -nM curves for the wallwith the following three vertical reinforcement scenarios: (1) 10 No. 6 bars at 16 in. spacing,(2) 10 No. 5 bars at 16 in. spacing, and (3) 7 No. 4 bars at 24 in. spacing. The steel is Grade60 with a modulus of elasticity of 29,000 ksi, and the masonry has a compressive strength of2,000 psi. You may use Excel or Matlab to construct the curves. Also, show the maximumnPallowed by the code for each case.(b) For each of the above reinforcement scenarios, determine the maximum axial loads that arepermitted for the tension-controlled condition and transition condition.(c) Discuss how the amount of vertical reinforcement affects thenPn - Mn curve.
If you could help me answer these questions in matlab that would be great, I provided an additional picture detailing what the outcome should look like.
