Question: The wall shown in the elevation and cross section below is built from ( 8 times 8 times 1 6 )

The wall shown in the elevation and cross section below is built from \(8\times 8\times 16\) CMU blocks. The overhead doors are 10 feet wide by 12 feet high. If lintel blocks are required wherever the \#4 horizontal bars are located and above the doors, how many lintel blocks are needed for the wall?
Question 7
Determine the amount of rebar needed for the CMU wall shown in the elevation and cross section from Question 2 above. In addition to the rebar shown on the wall cross section, there is one \#6 rebar located at either side of the overhead doors, which extend from the bottom of the door to 16 inches above the top of the door and two \#4 rebar above the doors. Allow for 2 inches of cover on the vertical bars and assume 4-feet lifts. Add 10 percent for lap and waste to the horizontal bars.
Amount of \#5 vertical rebar (in L.F.):
Amount of \#6 vertical rebar (in L.F.):
Amount of \#4 horizontal rebar (in L.F.):
The wall shown in the elevation and cross section
