[25 points] Given the bearing wall in Figure 3 with the service gravity and wind loads
applied, design a reinforced solution using 8-in normalweight (135 pcf) CMU blocks with fm'
=2000 psi, Type S PCL mortar and #5 bar (Grade 60) reinforcing steel. Assume the
eccentricity of the axial load is 4-in from the center of the block. Sketch your resulting
design showing placement of reinforcing steel.
