Problem 3: (20 pts) A 10 ft high wall made of hollow CMUS, with a specified compressive strength of masonry f'm = 1500 psi and N mortar. nominal thickness BA must support. Noorload (DL+LL) = 5000 plf. The weight of an 8.A wall is 100 psi; and the specifived thickness 8". Check the adequacy of the above bearing wall for the given 10 ft height and 8.A nominal thickness by calculating: Load at the base of wall, Actual stress on the wall, Allowable stress, Maximum h/t ratio to check for . .
