Out-of-plane at openings
Out-of-plane at openings
(OP)
I am evaluating an existing 8IN CMU structure that is partially grouted with #5 at 24". I wanted to know how to determine how much wall I can use on either side of an opening for the out-of-plane check. There are 8ft-8Iin, 5ft-4in and 3ft-4in openings. The walls are 13ft-4in tall. The openings are 7ft-4in tall. The load I am checking against is 21psf.

Personally, I think 3t, regardless of the typical bar spacing, makes since.
