GROUT-FILLED CONCRETE MASONRY WALLS CONTINUE TO BE A COMMON FORM of construction for many types of structures, from single-family homes and large retail stores/commercial buildings, to single-story structures and multiple-story hotels. In all of these structures, a need exists to attach various elements, structural and non-structural, to the load-bearing masonry walls. These attachments vary from roof structures to piping and equipment supports. It is important that the connection of these elements to the masonry walls be secure.
