Thank you for the replies. I do, however, have this information and have used it before. I am looking for is an example for combined bending and axial load. I have used the masonry text before, but I don't think it the axial load capacity calculations will be the same.
Thanks for your time. I do appreciate it.

I recall you have to check the allowable bending moment based on allowable concrete stress, also:
M = 0.5 * f'c * j * k * b * d^2
Correct me if I'm wrong. It's been a long, long time.
You could also get a masonry design book. Masonry WSD is just like Concrete WSD.
