TIE REINFORCEMENT BETWEEN RC FRAME COLUMNS AND BRICK WALLS

Happy Chinese New Year!

Here，brick walls are partition walls.
I just want to know if there is some requirement in codes or standards which restraints the spacing of horizontal reinforcement.

Depends on what code you are using. In the US, there is no code requirement that brick walls must be tied to RC frame columns.

What about this provision in ACI-530？

Better share some details.

As written above, that is for intersecting walls that depend on each other for lateral support.

Yes, but are there any applicable provisions in American code or British code?
