Masonry Horizontal Joint Reinforcing.

[SteelPE]

When using a #9 Dur-O-Wall horizontal joint reinforcing at 16” o.c. What are the requirements for lapping this type of reinforcing at the corners? Is the mason supposed to buy a prefabricated corner section to use in these locations or is lapping allowed?

I can’t seem to find any requirement in ACI 530.1.

With the ladder type, I generally lap it 'one rung' <G>. I seem to recall Dur-o-wal has a discription of the splicing.

Lap ends of reinforcement 6". It is common to cut the interior wire and field bend the continuous reinforcement at corners.
