masonry wall 2

[hello12345hello]

I am trying to find weight for masonry wall in psf. I have 8 inch light weight masonry wall with rebar in 48 inch o.c. vertically and those cells are grouted solid only. What is for weight that. does it consider as partially grouted wall not solid grouted wall Correct?

Try this: Wall Weights from NCMA

You need to get Jim Amrhein's book on Masonry design - "The Masonry Design Manual".. It has that information and a lot more. It's the bible on masonry design. Well, at least I think it is....

From that book, depending on the type of CMU and the grouted cell spacing, you are looking at anywhere between 33 to 84 psf.
