Limestone blocks approximately 8 in. wide by 14 in. long by 6 in. high are some-times

Chapter 4, Problem 4.6

(choose chapter or problem)

Limestone blocks approximately 8 in. wide by 14 in. long by 6 in. high are sometimes used in constructing dry stacked walls. If the stability of the wall is not an issue and the only question is the strength of the block in compression, how high could blocks be stacked if the limestone has a compressive strength of 4000 psi and a density of 135 lb per cubic foot?
