Allowable flexural tension for masonry

Allowable flexural tension for masonry

(OP)
Table 2.2.3.2 in the ACI 530 gives values for flexural tension.  Would normal to bed joint mean my masonry wall would be spanning vertically?  I get this confused everytime I look at it.  Thanks

RE: Allowable flexural tension for masonry

Yes.  The bed joint is the horizontal joint - so normal to that is vertical, which is the direction of the tension stress you get for a wall spanning vertically.
