Concrete masonry unit wall terminations and intersections require specific reinforcing bar placement for structural continuity. At wall ends or jambs, horizontal reinforcing bars hook into the vertical cell containing the vertical reinforcing bar. At corner intersections, bond beam bars bend two feet around the corners typically. At mid-wall intersections, bond beam bars bend two feet around corners or incorporate separate corner bars.
