• Bricks and CMU blocks
• Available in many sizes,
grades, and textures
• Plans and Specs will
determine size, color, etc.
• Specs will also determine
the joint and type of mortar

Many different types
The components block

Anchor bolts
Bars run in horizontal
& vertical directions
Typical spacing 32” OC
Additional bars added
around openings
Adds strength to CMU or Brick wall
U-shaped CMU block filled with cement
Rebars provide lateral strength
Forms a horizontal “beam”
