Vertical rebar of CMU
Vertical rebar of CMU
(OP)
Can somebody remember the ACI code stating that vertical reinforcement shall be anchored to roof beams or structural beams. We would like to know because the EPC contractor just wanted it to have angular plate and anchored with drive pin.
Thanks for the help.

drive pin = powder actuated fastener?
angular plate = angle fastened to bond beam sill at beam (or maybe joist) bearing?

As always, a sketch of photo would help immensely.

A properly detained masonry wall would have a bond beam (1 or 2 courses) and the vertical steel would be surrounded by grout and not mortar to insure continuity with the bearing wall.
