Using masonry for the
building’s structural support
– Bearing walls
– Shear walls
– Combination bearing & shear
– Hybrid!
– Partition walls (not structural)

Versatile structural system
Fast, efficient & economical
Masonry may be on the project already – use it structurally!
![Page 12: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Finish trade – so tighter tolerances are held
No lead time for production, review and approval of shop drawings
Adapts easily to field changes –
“with masonry you just pick up the phone and
the change can be done”
![Page 13: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Local materials, local employment
Using material efficiently – one material for structure, finish, fire resistance, blast resistance, acoustics and more…
Masonry is “Green”
And it looks good too!
![Page 14: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Get started right… MSJC Documents
Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures TMS 402-08 / ACI 530-08 / ASCE 5-08
Specification for Masonry Structures TMS 602-08 / ACI 530.1-08 / ASCE 6-08
International Building Code 2009
ASTM Masonry Standards
More than 75 under the masonry committees jurisdiction
Another 15 new ones under development Narrow down to a few basic ones
![Page 15: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Materials
Concrete Masonry Units
![Page 16: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Tip 2 – Use the right ASTM Standard
ASTM C 90 Standard Specification for Loadbearing Concrete Masonry Units
Use for projects requiring loadbearing CMU
Sets minimum requirements
Include the edition Example: ASTM C 90-09
Defaults to version referenced by local building code if not specified
![Page 17: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Tip 3 – Unit Compressive Strength & Density
ASTM C 90-09 Table 2 Compressive strength requirements are independent of
unit density
Example: Lightweight units are required to meet the same compressive strength minimum requirements as Medium weight and Normal weight units
![Page 18: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Tip 4 – Remember, Minimum Requirements
ASTM C 90-09 Minimum compressive strength requirements in Table 2 No maximum compressive strength limit
Permissible to specify higher unit strength which leads to
higher compressive strength for the masonry wall
Check local availability before specifying higher
strength units
![Page 19: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Tip 5 – Specify Above C90 Minimum Strength
If higher strength units are available, the effect on the structural design can be significant
Often very little, if any cost penalty for units with strengths above the ASTM C 90 minimum
May already be on the job – so use what you already have!
for example…

Grout is NOT mortar NOR
concrete and is a cementitious
material unique to masonry.
• Grout can be mixed on-site or
obtained from transit or Redi-mix
suppliers.
• Grout can be placed by hand
or pumped with specifically
designed grout pumps.
• Grout quantities can be
determined from reference
charts such as the one shown on
the next slide.

• Coarse grout is typically more economical than fine grout
and is usually preferred.
• Both coarse and fine grout can be designed to achieve
necessary strength requirements.
• Space consumed by mortar fins must be subtracted from
the clear space.
• Minimum clear cross-sectional dimensions of the cells to
be grouted are shown in the chart on the next slide.

Mortar Fins (protrusions)
Mortar fins restrict the flow of grout
into cells and can actually trap air.
They must be removed before
grouting takes place. The best time
to do this is during wall construction.

However, remaining fins should be broken free
and dropped to the cleanouts and removed before
grouting takes place.
Proper technique in the application of mortar and
the setting of the CMU should minimize mortar
fins.

STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR SAMPLING AND TESTING GROUT
ASTM C1019-09
![Page 60: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
SCOPE; SIGNIFICANCE & USE ASTM C1019-09 1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers
procedures for both field and
laboratory sampling and
compression testing of grout used
in masonry construction.
3. Significance & Use
3.1 Grout used in masonry is a fluid
mixture of cementitious materials
and aggregate with a high water
content for ease of placement.
3.1.1 During construction,
grout is placed within or
between absorptive masonry
units. Excess water must be
removed from the grout
specimens in order to provide
compressive strength test
results more nearly indicative of
the grout strength in the wall.
![Page 61: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
TEST SPECIMENS ASTM C1019-09 PROCEDURES
5. Test Specimens
5.1 Each grout specimen shall
have a square cross section,
3 in. or larger on the sides and
twice as high as its width.
5.2 Test at least three specimens
at each age specified.
Note 4: frequency of sampling and
age of test is to be determined by
the specifier, and is usually found
in the construction documents; for
example, one set of specimens may
be specified for every 5,000 s.f. of
wall.
EXAMPLE: IF SPECIMENS ARE TO BE
TESTED AT 7, 14, AND 28 DAYS, THEN
MAKE 9 SPECIMENS.

6.1 Molds from Masonry Units
6.1.1 Select a level location where the molds
remain undisturbed for up to 48 hours.
6.1.2 The construction of the mold shall simulate the
in-situ construction. If the grout is
placed between two different types of
masonry units, both types shall be used to
construct the mold.
6.1.3 Form a space with a square cross-section,
3 in. or larger on each side and twice as high
as its width, by stacking masonry units of the
same type and moisture condition as
those being used in the construction. The
surface of the unit in contact with the grout
specimen shall not have been previously
used to mold specimens. Place non-
absorbent block, cut to proper size and of the
proper thickness or quantity, at the bottom of
the space to achieve the necessary height of
specimen.

Tip 10 – Understand Grout Pours and Lifts
Often confused or used interchangeably. MSJC Definitions:
Grout Pour – The total height of masonry to be grouted prior to erection of additional masonry. A grout pour consists of one or more grout lifts.
Grout lift – An increment of grout height within a total grout pour. A grout pour consists of one or more grout lifts.
Maximum pour height – function of grout type (fine or coarse), minimum grout space dimensions, use of cleanouts, conventional grout or SCG. Maximum pour heights are established by MSJC Table 7.
Maximum lift height – default is 5’, may increase to 12’-8” under some circumstances. SCG may be increased to pour height under some circumstances.
![Page 73: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
1999 MSJC – 5’ lift height limitation.
2002 MSJC – demonstration panel option permitting any construction procedures that produce proper installation.
2005 MSJC – lift height increased to 12’-8” subject to conditions.
2008 MSJC – Self-consolidating grout provisions

Grout lift height –
A.) Where the following conditions are met, place grout in lifts not exceeding 12.67 ft
1.The masonry has cured for at least 4 hours.
2. The grout slump is maintained between 10 and 11 in.
3. No intermediate reinforced bond beams are placed between the top and the bottom of the pour height.
B.) As above but intermediate bond beam, then lift height can extend to the bottom of the bond beam but not to exceed 12.67’.
C.) Otherwise, place grout in lifts not exceeding 5 ft.
D.) Demonstration panel option may result in increases.
E.) SCG may, under some circumstances be permitted to have the grout lift equal the pour height.

Tip 16 – Include Splice Lengths in Project Documents
Question: Why should the splice lengths and locations be included on the project drawings?
Answer: The design professional has the information necessary to calculate lap lengths, the contractor does not. Contractors cannot be expected to know which lap length equation is applicable nor the variables that are included in some lap splice equations.
Consider that laps may vary based on:
Bar diameter
Design method (ASD or SD)
Locally adopted building code
Specified cover
Specified f’m
and more…

SPLICE LENGTHS
![Page 177: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/177.jpg)
Options to avoid long lap lengths: Use smaller diameter bars at closer spacing.
Cover distance is key – maximize cover for minimum lap lengths.
Minimize laps by permitting higher grout lifts
Use specified f’m, not just minimum value…
MSJC Equations & IBC SD requirements
Lap length INCREASES as: •Bar size increases, •Cover decreases
Lap length DECREASES as: •Bar size decreases, •Cover increases, •Masonry compressive strength increases
Tip 17 – Reduce Splice Length when Appropriate
![Page 178: Tips for optimizing structural masonry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052310/555b188dd8b42aa67a8b4900/html5/thumbnails/178.jpg)
Question: Which of the above is the better choice? Answer: Either one could be fine, so consider:
• Bar weight
• Quantity of grout and difficulty in placement
• Are lap splices being used (longer for the #6 bar)
• Generally smaller bars closer together produce more
cohesive behavior for the wall as a whole.
• But, too close together and more grout is needed.
• Is the wall going to be fully grouted for other reasons?
Tip 17 – Reduce Splice Length when Appropriate
Balance bar size & spacing to optimize the design, example:
#4 bar @ 24”c/c is equivalent to #6 bar @ 48”c/c

Lap splices
Mechanical splices Becoming more common
Develop 125% of specified bar yield strength.
Welded splices Specify weldable reinforcement
Bars butted and must develop 125% specified bar yield strength.
Difficult, expensive, not recommended for most applications
Tip 18 – Consider other Splicing Options

Tip 19 – Think joint reinforcement not bond beams…
Joint reinforcement may be used to meet horizontal reinforcement requirements
Bond beams are more expensive option but may offer more steel reinforcement area
For crack control, joint reinforcement may not be needed with bond beams
Can use both in the building to suit different needs
