Apr 28, 2021 at 15:50 comment added John Hunter @silverrahul , not sure if you've seen the update, hope the assumptions seem reasonable and that it deals with the crack possibility.
Apr 28, 2021 at 8:24 comment added John Hunter The assumptions made are meant to be realistic: In part 1) the bridge collapses after maximum friction is exceeded at one interface - due to some compressibility that could happen (it's certainly safest to assume that). In part 2) it's the walls that can compress, not the blocks - it has to be one or the other or both for a crack to appear. Since the walls can push, some movement is possible, so it's assumed that they can be moved back slightly if the force on them exceeds $N$
