Problem Assignment - URM Shear Walls
Part A: Determine the horizontal load, H (in kips), permitted by the 2016 TMS 402 code for the unreinforced masonry shear wall shown. The wall is a single story cantilever as shown with a height of 9'-4". The wall is constructed using 8" concrete masonry units with a compressive strength equal to 2000 psi. The wall is grouted solid but no reinforcement is placed in either the vertical or horizontal directions. Mortar is Type N with Portland Cement. The wall is subjected to a gravity compressive stress due to dead load equal to 75 psi that is applied at the top of wall as shown.
Part B: Determine an allowable value of horizontal load for the shear wall if tensile strength of the masonry is neglected entirely, and post-cracking behavior is assumed. Consider a limiting compressive ledge stress equal to the allowable value for axial stress per the 2013 MSJC code. Comment on how the shear capacity might be checked.
if you had a choice of three kinds of aggregate--a sandstone,a crushed basalt,and a quartizite,you may select the basalt.Give one possible characteristic or property of sanstone and of the quartzite that made you decide not to select it for your c..
Explain the meaning of the reliability index,β, and how it relates to failure / survival inthe context of bridge design? What is the value ofβ we use in design?
A 15-cm-long tube has an inside diameter of 1.0 mm and is connected to a transducer which has a volume of 1.2 mL. If the system is to operate with air at 2 atm and 20?C, calculate the natural frequency and damping ratio of the tube-transducer syst..
A vertical curve of 600 ft in length is used to connect two tangents with the following locations: Tangent 1.- Point 1, Sta = 59+00, El = 1250.0' Point 2, Sta = 72+00, El = 1190.0' Tangent 2.- Point 1, Sta = 72+00, El = 1190.0' Point 2, Sta = 84+0..
Development of an automatic methodology - The problem can be generally described as an anchored sheet pile wall which is constructed to retain soil to a height h. The surface of the retained soil will be horizontal and level with the top of the wal..
The 10-mm-diameter steel bolt is surrounded by a bronze sleeve. the outer diameter of this sleeve is 20 mm, and its inner diameter is 10 mm. if the yield stress for the steel is
Calculate the expected volumetric de-crease when a sample of this bentonite is dried, if its natural water content was 85%.
