CUSTOM ENGINEERED HORIZONTAL REINFORCING

Reinforcement is effective only if it is in bond. An increase in the cross sectional area of knurled reinforcement (AA Wire reinforcement side rods knurled 75% of perimeter results in increased bond if mortar coverage is adequate (see Hunt Laboratory report available on request). A good rule of thumb for adequate mortar coverage is that the thickness of reinforcement should not exceed one-half the thickness of the mortar joint.
