About this detail

Structural reinforcement details for masonry wall openings, including lintels, jambs, and wall ends. Lintel reinforcing consists of two number five bars for widths under five feet, two number six bars for widths from five to seven feet, and two number seven bars for widths from seven to ten feet. Jambs feature two number five bars extending the full height of the wall when openings exceed four feet, with dowels matching the jamb bars at the floor line. Horizontal and vertical wall reinforcement utilizes standard 180-degree hooks, U-bars, and tension lap splices configured for both single and double mat masonry walls.
