This detail shows accommodations for a top-of-wall grout pour. Grout is poured into the top course bond beam via a grout bag or funnel through 6" x 6" holes cut into the corrugated decking every 6" on center. Midway between the pour holes are 4" dia. inspection holes to verify grout placement and flow. The concrete masonry wall is secured to the suspende slab above with angles on both sides of the wall welded to a steel plate, which is anchored to the bottom of the flutes of the decking above. The angles are secured to the masonry with self tapping screws. The top of the masonry is held back about 1 1/2" from the plate above. This detail as shown is intended to illustrate a general concept or method of construction. Details that show different or modified concepts or methods can be of equal validity and should not be excluded from consideration. this detail shall not be used for construction without the approval an signature of a licensed design professional.

This detail shows the top of wall restraint where a parallel structural steel beam or girder is directly above the concrete masonry wall and the decking runs parallel to the wall. Angles are welded to the lower flange of the beam on each side of the wall, and the vertical legs of the angles are anchored into the wall with self-tapping screws or screw anchors. The beam is braced with a diagonal angle brace connecting to the suspended slab above to resist lateral loads. The top of the masonry is held back about 1 1/2" from the horizontal legs of the angles above. This detail as shown is intended to illustrate a general concept or method of construction.

This detail shows a possible layout for reinforcement around an opening in a concrete masonry wall. The masonry lintel comprises U-block over the opening with 2 #5 bars (or as designed) hooked downard 90 degrees into the jamb if development embedment is not possible, with #3 hairpin ties engaging the horizontal bars at the lintel if required. The vertical bar at each jamb shall be continuous between lateral supports or between floors. All vertical and horizontal bars are sized by design and spaced at intervals per design.

This diagram gives guidance to determine approximate spacing of control joints (CJs) in a reinforced concrete masonry wall, taking into consideration locations of openings, spans of openings, proximity of openings to typical CJ spacing, depth of lintels, as well as changes in wall height. This detail shall not be used for construction without the approval an signature of a licensed design professional. The person using this detail shall be responsible for its complete design and proper application.

This diagram shows the approximate locations and spacing of control joints (CJs) in an irregular building plan. Typical CJ spacing is 1.3 times the wall height or 25 feet, whichever is less, or by per design. At el-shaped an other irregular plan configurations masonry may continue around inside and outside corners, but a CJ should occur no greater than half the typical spacing on each side of the corner, or by design.

This diagram show the approximate locations and spacing of control joints (CJs) in a rectangular building plan. Typical CJ spacing is 1.3 times the wall height or 25 feet, whichever is less, or by per design.

This set of details shows different options for accommodating shrinkage, the primary form of movement in a concrete masonry wall, by the use of control joints (CJs) in the wall. The details represent options for fire-rated and non fire-rated CJs, laterally restrained and unrestrained CJs, and CJs in-plane and at intersecting walls. Horizontal and vertical grout and reinforcement in the CMU are sized and spaced at intervals per structural design. Control joints are spaced at intervals per design.

The person using this detail shall be responsible for its complete design and proper application.

This detail shows two options for horizontally reinforcing a control joint (CJ) in a concrete masonry wall: continuous horizontal reinforcement across the control joint, and horizontal reinforcement interrupted at the control joint. In both cases, the vertical mortar joint is raked back 1/2" at the CJ for backer rod and sealant. Horizontal and vertical grout and reinforcement are sized and spaced at intervals per structural design.

This detail shows the top of wall restraint where a parallel structural steel beam or girder is adjacent to the concrete masonry wall and the decking runs perpendicular to the wall. The wall is anchored to the beam using a bent plate, and the beam is braced with a diagonal angle brace connecting to the suspended slab above to resist lateral loads. On the side of the wall opposite the beam, the wall is restrained by angles anchored into the suspended slab above. The top of the masonry is held back about 1 1/2" from the plate above.

This detail shows the top of wall restraint where an offset parallel steel beam provides restraint for the concrete masonry wall. The wall is anchored to the beam using a bent plates on both sides of the wall welded to the bottom flange of the beam. The offset beam above the wall is further braced with a diagonal angle brace connecting to adjacent framing if required. The top of the masonry is held back about 1 1/2" from the plate above.

This detail shows a structural steel beam or girder anchored to a grouted, reinforced concrete masonry wall. Clip angles are bolted to each side of the steel beam and anchored into a grouted portion of the concrete masonry wall, maintaining 2 in. minimum cover between the end of the embedded anchors and the interior face of the CMU's face shell. The masonry is grouted and reinforced vertically and horizontally at designed intervals. This detail as shown is intended to illustrate a general concept or method of construction.

This detail shows a reinforced masonry wall bearing on a suspended slab with a steel beam directly underneath with hooked dowels in alternating directions into the slab. When the flutes of the decking do not line up with the beam below, engineer must verify hooked dowels can be developed into the slab.
