a) Determine the modulus of elasticity for a masonry prism made of 4 inc nominal clay brick having compressive strength of 8250 psi and type S mortar.
b) ) Determine the modulus of elasticity for a masonry prism made of Concrete masonry units compressive strength of 4050 psi and type N mortar.
c) What is modulus of rupture of masonry flexural tensile stress normal to bed joints in running bond with solid units and PCL type M mortar.
d) An engineer type of brick is used in two wythe wall with a standard CMU both laid in mortar bed joints in their stretcher position, mortar joint thickness is 3/8-in. Wall designed for composite action a)what is the allowable shear stress for a mortared collar joints according to MSJC code b) if it was grouted collar joints then what is the allowable shear stress according to MSJC code.
