About this detail

A non-bearing concrete masonry unit wall terminates below a concrete slab with a one-inch soft joint. The wall head incorporates a bond beam containing two continuous number five reinforcing bars at the first whole course, supplemented by continuous joint reinforcement in the top two joints. An L4x4x1/4 angle measuring zero feet eight inches long is anchored to the underside of the slab at four feet on center using two three-quarter-inch-diameter screw anchors with four-inch embedment typical each side. Vertical wall reinforcement continues beyond per the structural schedule.
