CONCRETE MASONRY UNIT Section 04300 15-1207 setting). C. Bolts shall be accurately set with templates and held in place to prevent dislocation during grouting. D. Reinforcement, embedded items, and bolts shall be solidly embedded in grout. E. Anchor bolts in face shells shall maintain a minimum of 1/2 inch of grout and face shell. 3.08 GROUTED COMPONENTS A. All cells shall be grouted solid. B. Place and consolidate grout fill without displacing reinforcing. 3.09 GROUT PLACEMENT A. Grout shall be a workable mix suitable for placing without segregation and shall be thoroughly mixed. Grout shall be placed by pumping or an approved alternate method and shall be placed before initial set or hardening occurs. Grout shall be consolidated by mechanical vibration during placing and reconsolidated after excess moisture has been absorbed, but before workability is lost. The grouting of any section of a wall shall be completed in one day, with no interruptions greater than one hour. B. All reinforcing and wire ties shall be embedded in the grout. The space between masonry unit surfaces and reinforcing shall be a minimum of one bar diameter. C. Horizontal reinforcement shall be placed in bond beam units with a minimum grout cover of 1 inch above steel for each grout pour. The depth of the bond beam channel below the top of the unit shall be a minimum of 1'/2 inches and the width shall be 3 inches minimum. D. Unobstructed grout spaces no less than 2" x 3" in width with fine grout to be provided for low lift grouting techniques, and grout spaces no less than 3" x 3" in width with coarse grout to be provided for high or low lift grouting techniques. Increase minimum size by the width or diameter of obstructions (reinforcing, conduit, etc.). Grout shall be placed so that all spaces do not contain voids. E. When grouting is stopped for more than one hour, terminate grout 1-1/2 inch minimum below top of upper masonry unit, except at bond beam 'h inch below top of upper masonry unit, to form a positive key for subsequent grout placement. F. Grout shall not be handled with aluminum equipment, unless demonstrated that there will be no deleterious effects. G. Low -Lift for CMU Grouted Construction: Where low -lift grouting is used, the method shall conform with CBC Section 2104A.5.1.1.1.1 requirements. Units shall be laid a maximum of 4 feet before grouting, and all overhanging mortar and mortar droppings shall be removed. Grouting shall follow each 4 feet of construction laid and shall be consolidated so as to 12
