CMU/Masonry Detailing

What is CMU/Masonry Detailing?

A reinforced concrete masonry wall is constructed by assembling masonry units for example concrete blocks or bricks, mortars, reinforcing, and sometimes grout which is a kind of soupy concrete.

CMU Wall reinforcement placed at grout height with lap length. It has vertical reinforcement with high spacing and a bond beam at floor level.

This drawing has all vertical bars, bond beam and additional reinforcement for opening and corner details.

Additional criteria that inﬂuence the selection of units for reinforced composite walls include

Size and number of reinforcing bars to be used and the cell space required to accommodate them.

Cover requirements may come into play when reinforcement is placed in the cells off-center. Cover requirements could affect the unit selection, based on the desired bar placement, face shell thickness, and cell dimensions.
If double curtains of vertical reinforcement are used, it is preferable to use units of the same thickness to produce a symmetrical cross- section.
