About this detail

Standard reinforcing configurations for concrete masonry unit walls feature centerline vertical reinforcing and vertical reinforcing at each face. Horizontal reinforcing is accommodated within bond beams, maintaining a standard clearance and utilizing one-and-a-half-inch spacers between horizontal reinforcing bars. Bar positioners are installed at vertical reinforcing locations typical throughout the assembly, specifically positioned in courses above and below bond beam locations. Lap splices for vertical bars are coordinated with adjacent bar placements as indicated. Associated construction notes govern lateral support requirements for walls lacking uniform top diaphragms and mandate top bond beams on all walls.
