Design of CMU Wall against

Lateral oil Load

Given:
20cm CMU
H=Height of Wall=1m,
Fm=Compressive Strength of CMU=104kg/cm^2, oil = 820kg / cm

Fm=0.33*Fm=0.33*104kg/cm^2=34.32kg/cm^2
B=CMU Thickness=40cm
d1=depth of masonry element=9.7cm from Table (5-1) .TM.5-804-3/NAVFAC Dm-2.9/AFM 88-3, Cha.3
1. Determination of lateral oil Pressure and Maximum Moment:
