Hi,

I have a question regarding the lightweight vs medium weight CMU. I am looking at the TMS code and I don't see any parameters that differentiate the two types from structural capacities. The compressive strength and the shear strength seems to be the same whether its lightweight vs medium weight. Is this correct?
