I do not have ACI 530-08 in hand but wanted to know if L/600 is the only criteria and 0.3" has been removed.
 
One of the guy told me that it is only for unreinforced masonry. Does it apply to reinforced masonry also?
 
Per ACI 530-08, the l/600 requirement is for masonry designed per Section 2.2 (unreinforced ASD), 3.2 (unreinforced SD), Ch 5 (empirical), or A.2 (unreinforced AAC).
