Question: A single - leaf masonry panel wall is 4 m wide and 4 m high, as shown in Figure 2 . The wall is made

A single-leaf masonry panel wall is 4 m wide and 4 m high, as shown in Figure 2. The wall is made from concrete bricks and class i mortar. The wall must be designed to support a wind pressure (Wk) of 0.5 kN/m?
The design details are as follows:
Concrete brick & class ii mortar
Ym =3.5(normal manufacturing and construction controls)
Vr =1.2(Panel is not providing stability to the structure)
Wall thickness (tef)=106 mm
Ignore the self-weight of the wall (ga =0)
a) Determine the minimum thickness (tef) based on the slenderness limit for the wall.
b) Calculate the bending moment coefficient (a) for the wall.
c) Determine the design bending moment (m) for the wall.
d) Show the locations of maximum bending moment on the wall. Provide a sketch.
e) Determine the bending moment capacity (M) perpendicular to the bed joints (use fxp).
f) Determine the bending moment capacity (M) parallel to the bed joints (use Exb).
g) Are the brick and mortar adequate in bending?
h) Sketch the tributary loading areas for uniform wind pressure acting on the wall.
i) On the same sketch, show the locations of maximum shear force on the wall.
