Masonry Anchor Strength Design Guide 2024
For partially grouted CMU construction with the grouted cells filled and reinforced horizontally ( i . e ., grouted cells on the same course ), reduce the edge distances in the y-direction to only model the course with grouted cells . See Figure 8 . The software will treat the top edge of the course and bottom edge of the course as the edge distances , which will align with treating the nearest adjacent ungrouted cells as edges . The software will analyze the influence areas accordingly if the correct application edge distances in the x-direction are modeled in the software .
