cmu corbel / ledge design
(OP)
Anyone know where to find info on designing a cmu ledge for supporting second floor wood i-joists? (2 story building)
I'm planning on using an 8" cmu wall, and then corbel-out two courses of 12" cmu to create a bearing ledge for the joists.
Not sure how to reinforce the 12" courses.
Thanks.

5.5.1 Load-bearing corbels
Load bearing corbels shall be designed in accordance with Chapter 8, 9, or 10.
So, your on your own with engineering principles and basic masonry design for shear and bending due to eccentricity in the wall.
I'll add that 11.1.10 states that "Load-bearing corbels of AAC masonry shall no be permitted." (autoclaved aerated concrete)
