Someone asked me a question I couldn't answer (since masonry isn't my expertise):
Say I want to build a building where the exterior walls are masonry (i.e. concrete block walls, not a masonry facade.) The walls are structural, not infill for a framed structure.
If the front and back walls are 200 ft long, I would need control joints wouldn't I? How do you detail control joints in structural masonry walls ?
