Design wall reinforcing for a solid grouted $8$ inch CMU wall that spans $17\text{'}-4"$ between the foundation and the roof diaphragm. Consider all axial loads in the problem. Use grade live load are applied with an eccentricity of $1\mathrm{.}2$ inches from the wall centerline. Take wall

self weight into consideration. The wall has an applied seismic uniform out$-$of$-$plane load of $19\mathrm{.}1psf.$ Locate the reinforcing at the wall centerline. The wall is reinforced with #$6$ bars at $32$ inches O$.$C$,$ centered in the wall. Use the in$-$class example as a guide. Work only the load case for combined dead, live, and horizontal seismic. Determine stresses and design a typical wall section away from corners, joints and intersections walls $($therefore one$-$way vertical span from foundation to roof$)$:

A$.$ a$.$ Compute $\frac{P}{A}$ and $\frac{M}{S}$ and compare. Is the wall cracked?

b$.$ Compute $\frac{M}{P}=$ virtual e$.$ Is the wall cracked; why not?

c$.$ Calculate $kd$ and compare to $tf$ and the location of the reinforcing.

State the significance of these relationships.

Is the wall cracked?

Is the steel stressed?

If cracked, is the wall stable without reinforcing?

B$.$ Plot an interaction diagram for the wall using the same methodology we used in class.
