MASONRY BLOCK SIZING

A$)$ Calculate the allowable load in $k\frac{N}{m}$ for the blocks listed in the table below using type s mortar.

B$)$ Calculate the wall dead load in $k\frac{N}{m^2}$ for the blocks listed in the table below.

C$)$ Use the Empirical Method to select the appropriate size of block for the $3-$storey building in the diagram below at points $A,B,$ and $C$ for the design loads listed.

Three Story Building

Floor to ceiling height is $3m$ for the first floor, and $2\mathrm{.}5m$ for second and third floors.

Section length is $10m.$

Roof dead load is $2\mathrm{.}8k\frac{N}{m}2$

Roof live load is $1\mathrm{.}5k\frac{N}{m}2$

Floor assembly load is $2\mathrm{.}4k\frac{N}{m}2$

Occupant live load is $2\mathrm{.}4k\frac{N}{m}2$
