Concrete slab edge - Masonry
Concrete slab edge - Masonry
(OP)
All,
What is your company's standard detail of laterally bracing a non-load bearing masonry wall at the edge of a concrete slab?
My current firm has a detail with a 1" gap and an angle connecting the inside face of the CMU to an embed in the slab soffit.
My old firm had a detail with a #3 bar in a grouted sleeve connecting the masonry to the slab (this was not a detail that allowed for slab deflection, however, we never had any issues with the slab or masonry).

The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.
