1. A big box retail store is built with CMU bearing walls around its perimeter. The store measures 450 ft across the front and back and 360 ft across the sides. The walls are 28 ft tall and are reinforced horizontally with truss bars in alternate courses and vertically with #4 bars 32 in. on-center. There is an 8 tall bond beam running around the full perimeter of the building at the roof level (24 ft) to support the roof framing. The openings in the CMU walls, and the associated lintels are as follows:

Note: each lintel should be a multiple of 8 long and have 8 of bearing on each side of the opening. Opening sizes are listed as height x width
a. Determine the national average bare cost for the lintels using RSMeans 042210.(30 pts)
b. Determine the national average bare cost to for the bond beams using RSMeans 042210.
(20 pts)
c. Determine the national average bare cost for the vertical reinforcing using RSMeans 040519 and associated grout using RSMeans 040516. Use maximum 8 ft long pieces and lap splice the bars at least 30 bar diameters. Include 15% waste for the grout. (30 pts)
d. Determine the national average bare cost for the typical CMU using RSMeans 042210.(20 pts)
