ah... more "as-builts"!!! everyone's favorite!!! CBC 2007
10 foot existing masonry wall fully grouted with half inspection evidence and half contractor statement to come up with a confident #4 @ 24" vert and horiz full height/length, no openings. Client wants to put up a small 20x15 garage with this wall as one side.
Siesmic zone E...
so "special reinforced masonry" is required by code. Well, im sure there are no 180 hooks and whatever else is required to classify it as "special reinforced"... (gettin back into reading that part of code now) Building inspector requiring a "letter" that it complies with 2007 CBC...
comments... how many of you would require a tear down of the wall?

talked to a few engineers, one said that the hook requrement could be assumed to be imitated by a develpment length of the horizontals, so if i take a development lenght off each side of the wall (full length no openings) i still have plenty of "shear" left...
and that perpendicular attachement required by asce 12.11.2 is rather large 1300# at each truss?!
