The calculation also checks the stability of the wall for mainly vertical loading, at the half height beneath the concentrated load. Users of this program must determine the validity of the results. The calculation checks the localized bearing resistance of the masonry directly beneath the load more...
The quantity added to the cart was changed due to rounding or minimum quantity rules. Test results available upon request. Less time devoted to rebar installation, grout pouring. Extreme weather, under certain circumstances, can cause degradation of masonry due to expansion and contractions f more...
Studs are denser than the insulation and the cold travels through the studs and ignores the insulation. New requirements in energy codes may require that you use rigid insulation in the veneer drainage cavity when the structural backup is built of wood stud or steel stud. Brick has been used in r more...
Table 2 states the 16-inch spacing applies to nine-gauge wire with two wires (one wire per face shell of the block). Walls whose behavior is dominated by flexure, with reliable ductility and inelastic displacement capacity. The effect of different plan configurations of walls on their expected b more...
During construction of concrete masonry wall, causing it to expand. Joint reinforcing is generally terminated at a control joint, although chord-reinforcing steel at floors and roofs must continue through the control joints. Cap all dowels to allow 1” of movement. There is horizontal joint rei more...
