Im redoing our masonry typical details and i came across wall intersection requirements (options).
ACI 530-11 1.9.4.2.5 states:
However, Figure CC-1.9-3 indicates a 24 inch long z bar.
Has anyone picked up on this? Seems like a 28 inch anchor wouldnt work very well with 8 inch block.
So the question becomes, "do i show a 28 inch strap and comply with the code or go with a 24 inch strap and comply with the more constructible commentary?"
Thoughts?

Minimum size: 1/4 in. x 11/2 in. x 28 in.(6.4 mm x 38.1 mm x 711 mm) including 2-in.(50.8-mm) long, 90-degree bend at each end to form a U or Z shape. However, Figure CC-1.9-3 indicates a 24 inch long z bar.
