Masonry Reinforcing
Masonry Reinforcing
(OP)
What is the min. splice length for reinforcing in masonry? Where is this information? Either it isn't in ACI 530, or I skipped right over it.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

To find this out, read ACI 530 closely.
I hope this helps
RE: Masonry Reinforcing
I always call out an extra 3" to 6" inches of lap, depending on the height of the wall, between the dowels coming out of the footing and wall reinforcment. The reason I do this is, depending on how sloppy the mason is, there can be a significant amount of mortar that falls down the cells prior to grouting the wall.

This is one of the reasons you have clean outs at the bottom of the walls/lifts. Before the cells are filled, you can inspect them. Also you can inspect them after the grout is placed to confirm solid core grouting.
