- This video shows the placement of rebar, how to fill cores in a CMU wall, and the use of grout stop to make a bond beam. Bond beams strengthen walls to withstand forces exerted on them, keeping them straight and connected to the foundation through vertical rebar.
Thank you man for sharing your experience, I'm learning good things from you for my coming project.
Thanks!
I always use empty mortar bags to plug cores.
cool video! I was wondering how to do this.
I don't think it was discussed in the video, why would you *NOT* want to fill the entire wall for a load bearing wall?
Itd be heavy and expensive.
@@KingSobieski cheaper than hiring a outfit to pour solid walls. Especially if your not worried about leakage, because that's the biggest problem with block walls other than falling apart if not reinforced.
I'm building a shed where the back wall will be CMU this is a retaining wall as a structural wall. I have vertical #4 rebar every 16" & horizontal bond beam every 2 courses am I over doing it?
That's quite a lot of reinforcement...depends what you're retaining!
