Grouted Masonry Cells 1

[jike]

Can anyone point me to a table that gives weights of different thickness CMU walls with various cells grouted (8" oc, 16" oc, 24" oc, 32" oc, etc.)?

There are tables in the back of the Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook.

Also, here

Also, I find a lot of helpful information at

http://www.ncma.org

, the National Concrete Masonry Association. Select your state, then choose a supplier, and do a keyword search through the TEK reports.

I typically use properties found in NCMA TEK 14-1A (issued 2003). It breaks down the properties for both Average cross-section (stiffness) and Net cross-section (stress calculations).
