CMU Wall Sitting on a Concrete Slab
CMU Wall Sitting on a Concrete Slab
(OP)
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there's any code requirements for the surface where the CMU will sit on a concrete slab? I.E. does the concrete surface need to be roughened to a minimum amplitude?
Thanks!

You will get some additional shear from the bond between the concrete slab and wall mortar too.
