Hi guys, I need the solution of the question 4.3 following the format below, see question, it should be an essay following the standard questions

4.3) Estimate the tensile strength of 4000 psi (27.5 MPa) brick units. Discuss the possible importance of this tensile strength Discuss the factors affecting the compressive strength of brick. Why are clay brick units cored? How much coring is allowed for solid and for hollow clay 4.4 4.5 brick units? 4.6 What are the minimum face shell and web thicknesses specified for 8 in. (200 mm) hollow concrete blocks? 4.7 Discuss how test methods can affect the measured tensile and compressive strengths of masonry units? 4.8 Define IRA and explain its significance as a material property. If possible, perform an IRA test and report the result. a) Define the terms used in the problem, if applicable (e.g. Veneer) b) Most assigned essay problems have stated or implied problems. If applicable: a. Rephrase the problem (e.g. regional variation in veneer) b. State why the problem is important (e.g. why there is regional variation in c) State the controlling factors: (e.g. what makes you pick one sort of veneer.) d) Make recommendation (e.g. pick the veneer and say why)

Explanation / Answer

Tensile strength = 0.7*square root of 27.5

= 0.7*square root of 27.5

= 3.67 Mpa

Tensile strength is useful when pulling loads are applied on bricks and also when bending is applied on the bricks
