Concrete Wall Section

Concrete wall section detail.
Concrete wall section. Engineered design of concrete masonry uses section properties to determine strength stiffness and deflection characteristics. The foundations should generally be located on a layer of soil or rock with good bearing characteristics. Stem walls not laterally supported at top.
See cast in place concrete wall systems for additional information as well as the information included under resources in this section. Concrete stairs exposed concrete precast concrete concrete structure reinforced concrete concrete architecture architecture details architecture models architecture drawings. These design philosophies are summarized in allowable stress design of concrete masonry strength design provisions for concrete masonry and post tensioned concrete masonry wall design refs.
A precast concrete wall system and cast in place facade will provide similar performance regarding sound transmission from the exterior to the interior of the building. Strength reduced from 136 7 to 114 9 in kips. Interior walls may be supported by thickening the slab under the wall and suitably reinforcing it.
Concrete stem walls that are not monolithic with slabs on ground or are not otherwise laterally supported by slabs on ground and retain 48 inches 1219 mm or less of unbalanced fill measured from the top of. Concrete foundation stem walls that support light frame above grade walls shall be designed and constructed in accordance with this section.
