I have an existing CMU retaining wall with a portion of it failing that will be removed and replaced. Is the below rough detail the recommended approach for how to connect the new wall to the existing? I am planning to dowel horizontal bars at the two bond beam locations as well as at the footing. This is per a prescriptive design which has 12" block on the lower half with a bond beam, and then 8" block on top of that. Or is there another recommended approach when connecting new CMU to old?
