Chapter 6, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The two variables which have a significant effect on usage of masonry material and consumption of mortar in addition to block or brick size.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The masonry work involves the construction using clay bricks, concrete blocks and bricks, clay tiles and artificial and natural stones.
The usage of masonry material and consumption of mortar is affected by block or brick size. The other variables are treatment of mortar joints and the kind of masonry bond.
Conclusion:
The two variables which have a significant effect on usage of masonry material and consumption of mortar in addition to block or brick size are treatment of mortar joints and the kind of masonry bond.

Thumbi Irrigation Scheme in Mzimba district is under threat of flooding. In order to
mitigate against the problem, authorities have decided to construct a flood protection
bund (Dyke). Figure 1 is a cross section of a 300m long proposed dyke; together with its
foundation (key). Survey data for the proposed site of the dyke are presented in Table 1.
Table 2 provides swelling and shrinkage factors for the fill material that has been
proposed. The dyke dimensions that are given are for a compacted fill.
(1) Assume you are in the design office, use both the Simpson Rule and Trapezoidal
Rule to compute the total volume of earthworks required. (Assume both the dyke
and the key will use the same material).
(2) If you are a Contractor, how many days will it take to finish hauling the computed
earthworks using 3 tippers of 12m³ each? Make appropriate assumptions.…
