About this detail

A masonry retaining wall is supported by a cast-in-place concrete foundation wall and a concrete footing. Vertical reinforcing bars in the concrete foundation wall alternate with masonry vertical wall reinforcing. An exterior slab on grade bears against the foundation wall, featuring an architectural chamfer where applicable. The masonry wall extends upward, containing horizontal wall reinforcement per schedule and topped with a continuous bar at the top of the wall below an architectural wall cap.
