About this detail

Reinforcement layout around small openings in a non-load bearing concrete masonry unit wall assembly requires providing one number five horizontal reinforcing bar above and below the opening for each layer of vertical wall reinforcement, combined with vertical wall reinforcing and typical bond beams within the wall. Additional vertical reinforcement is specified at each side of the opening per the schedule. Structural notes govern conduit and pipe sleeves, minimum distances from doors and windows, opening spacing requirements, and size limits for penetrations exempt from trim reinforcement.
