Check for tensile stress

According to 5.2.3.2 of IS 1905:1980 Code of practice for
structural safety of buildings: Masonry walls (second revision),
permissible tensile stress for freestanding vertical walls in
vertical bending is 0.07 N/mm2. However, the tensile stress at
base of wall at ground level amounts to 0.3 N/mm2, therefore,
exceeds the permissible value. The base width of wall is to be
increased for tensile stress design. The thickness of wall at
various heights is given by:
t
Thus
t at height 1m from top
t at height 1.5m from top
t at height 2m from top
t at height 3m from top
