Question
Chapter 8, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Find the number of syllables in the word “masonry”.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The number of syllables is 3.
Explanation of Solution
Masonry includes building structures by laying individual masonry units. In general, masonry units are laid with cement mortar that binds them together to make a structure. Masonry construction can give beautiful floors and walls at economical prices.
Masonry construction is quite labor intensive, durable, and often requires less maintenance. The given word “masonry” has three syllables (ma–son–ry). It should not be pronounced as ma–son–er–ry.
Therefore, the number of syllables is 3.

The wall is to be constructed of fully grouted hollow concrete masonry units in running bond. Determine the width of the masonry units, and the flexural and shear reinforcement required. Use mf ′ = 2,000 psi and Grade 60 (60 ksi) steel, and Type S Portland cement mortar. In addition to its own weight, it carries a dead load of 1.5 kip/ft. and a live load of 0.2 kip/ft. from the roof. The walls on both sides of the opening are very long. Therefore, you may assume that the beam is fixed from rotation at both ends. Design using the following two methods. (a) Design it as a deep beam with the moment arm z given by the code. Show the layout of the flexural and shear reinforcements with diagrams. (b) Design a masonry lintel beam (not a deep beam) that will carry the weight of the masonry of above, and the dead and live loads from the roof. Determine whether you can…arrow_forward
