Use the following assumptions for problems 1 and 2:
1. Brick are 7 12" long x 2 VA"tall, mortar joints are 3/8" thick.
2. Standard concrete block is 75/8" X 15 5/8".
3. One bag masonry cement per 125 brick or 45 block.
4. Five percent for waste.
5. Assume a bearing of 4" on each end of the steel lintel.
6. The wall is 120' long, 8' tall with 2 - 3X3' windows and 1-3' x 7' door.
7. The coefficient of thermal expansion of brick: 0.0000036 in/in/°F.
8. The temperature swing is 120°F. 9. Maximum vertical expansion joint width 12" with a sealant movement capacity of 25%. (Each joint can only move 1/8" which is 12" x 25 = 1/8")
