About this detail

Steel beams bear onto reinforced concrete masonry unit walls via bearing plates, anchor rods, and non-shrink grout. Beams oriented parallel to the wall utilize slotted holes in the bearing plate and greased plates, while perpendicular beam configurations engage solid grouted cells and anchor rods. A reinforced masonry lintel detail includes top and bottom reinforcing bars, stirrups, and bond beams over wall openings. Temporary shoring must remain in place until the masonry compressive strength reaches eleven hundred psi.
