Running/Stack bond????
Running/Stack bond????
(OP)
Can anyone please tell me the difference between a running bond and a stack bond in Masonry wall design?

Intuitively running bond is better than stack bond but I am just wondering if code makes the distinction for strength.

maybe you can help with this too:
when designing a masonry retaining wall, is the proceedure for calculating the ultimate moments similar to that of a concrete wall - if not what are the distinctions? (ie. Mu = 0.156*b*d^2*fcu
where fcu = say 30 N/mm for concrete blocks
Is this correct?
Of course, the base will be reinforced concrete; masonry is being used for aesthetic purposes - the wall is 2m high and the blocks being used are 190x190x390mm. Horz and vert reinforcement will be required. gamma soil = 18kN/m^2, phi = 25 degrees, angle of retained soil = 14 degrees above horiz
