Masonry nonparticipating elements
Masonry nonparticipating elements
(OP)
I have a 4" block veneer supported by 12" masonry in seismic design category D. The 12" wall is acting as a special reinforced shear wall. Must the 4" block veneer be designed as a nonparticipating element and comply with 7.4.4.1 of ACI 530-13?
