About Block Wall
Block wall drawings show the wall line and height, the footing or slab it rises from, the reinforcing and grout, and the pilasters that stiffen it. Scope turns on whether the wall carries a load or only its own weight, since a free-standing wall is designed for wind. Block wall records commonly appear with CMU, masonry and fence headings.
