The wall is to be constructed of fully grouted hollow concrete masonry units in running bond. It is to carry its own weight plus a superimposed dead load of 2.5 kips/ft and a live load of 0.8 kip/ft. Determine the width of the masonry units (by trials), and the amounts of the longitudinal and shear reinforcement required using the strength design method of TMS 402-22. Show the layout of the reinforcements with diagrams. Use fm = 2,000 psi, Grade 60(60 ksi) steel, and Type S Portland cement mortar. Assume that the centroid of the bottom rebar is 3 inches from the bottom face of the beam. ( you may assume that the unit weight of fully grouted concrete masonry is 125 lbs per cubic foot.)arrow_forward
