About this detail

Concrete masonry unit wall assemblies detail bond beam reinforcement at corners, intersections, and wall openings. Horizontal bond beams incorporate horizontal reinforcing bars and vertical bars centered within the wall section. Corner and intersection details specify number five corner bars for each bond beam bar, with a two-foot-one-inch lap length and a two-foot return around corners where bond beams in adjacent walls occur at different levels. Openings wider than eight feet require number three stirrups at eight inches spacing with specific lintel reinforcement. Vertical bar sizes and spacing are coordinated with foundation details providing minimum one-inch clearance for two-bar reinforcement and one-half-inch minimum clearance.
