I have included with this post a portion of the Masonry Association's Masonry Certification Workshop slides pertaining to Grouting. I would imagine that a gabion wall acting as a retaining wall would need to be satisfy some special requirements.
#Assonometria masonry stack to different wall heights code
The 6th Ed FBC, Building HVHZ Section 2122 simply references the TMS 402/602-16 code for grouting requirements and has no other specific requirements other than a maximum age of 1 1/2 hours after the addition of mix water. Theres a lot of information about DIY gabion walls, but none of the applications that Ive seen on YouTube and elsewhere talk about gabion walls as retaining walls. Also, typically there is a bond beam around the 12' level which makes it a natural location to grout the wall. In the upper right of the Edit Assembly dialog box, change the Sample Height value. Make sure the Preview pane is open and the view is set to Section. Stone Wall As the height of the building increased, the required thickness of wall and resulting stress on foundation will also increase and cause it to be uneconomical. From the Properties palette, click Edit Type, and in the Type Properties dialog box, click the Edit button in the Structure field to open the Edit Assembly dialog box. Pre Panelized Load Bearing Metal Stud Walls 5. Two single Brick Piers: 1.5m (vertical height) x 14 42 bricks. Activate the default 3D view and select one segment of wall in the view. Table 1 may be used for foundation walls up to 8 feet (2.4 m) high under the following conditions (ref. Realistically, it is rare that walls are grouted at heights above 12' - 8" because of the need of substantial bracing for an un-grouted wall 24' in height. Continuing with our example of a half-brick thick wall that is 6 metres long, 1.5 metres high, with two pillars and wastage included, we can calculate the number of bricks as follows: Quantity for Brick Wall: 9m2 (surface area) x 60 (half-brick thick wall) 540 bricks. Table 1 lists the allowable backfill heights for 8, 10 and 12-inch (203, 254 and 305 mm) concrete masonry foundation walls. The tables allow for grout to be dropped a maximum of 24' for both fine and course grout. For wood-framed backings, TMS 402-16 allows anchored masonry veneer supported vertically by noncombustible construction to be installed up to a height of 30 feet (or 38 feet at a gable). The table gives the allowable height than you can drop the grout down the wall based on whether the grout is a fine grout (sand only) or a course grout (contain pea rock) along with the clear dimensions of the net opening down through the wall that will be receiving grout. To independently control subwalls within a stacked wall. Stacked walls allow the use of subwalls with different thickness stacked on top of each other. You can change the structure of a stacked wall in several ways. In the TMS 402-16 code it appears as Table 3.2.1 and in the TMS 602-16 specifications it appears as Table 6 (same table in both locations). Revit includes a Stacked Wall system family for modeling walls that comprise 2 or more subwalls stacked on top of each other. The grouting height table occurs in two location in the TMS code.
