For the purpose of this chapter, certain terms are defined as follows: AREAS: Bedded Area is the area ofthe surface of a masonry unit which fs in contact with mortar in the plane of the joint. Effective Area of Reinforcement isthe cross-sectional area of seinforcement multiplied by the cosine of the angle between the reinforcement and the dizection for which effective area is to be determined. Gross Area js the total cross-sectional area of a specified seo- tion, Nef. Area is the gross cross-sectional arca minus the arca of ungrouted cores, notches, cells and unbedided sreas. Net ares isthe actual surface area of 2 cross section of masonry. ‘Transformed Area is the equivalent aree of one material to @ second based on the ratio of modull of elasticity of the frst mate rial to the second. BOND: Adhesion Bond is the adhesion between masonry units und sorter oF grout, Reinforcing Bond isthe edhesion between steel reinforcement ‘and mortar or grout BOND BEAM is a horizontal provied element in which reinforcement is embedded. CELL is a void space having 2 gross cross-sectional area ‘greater then 13/2 square inches (967 mm). CLEANOUT is an opening to the bottom of a grout space of sufficient size and spacing to allow the removel of debris. COLLAR JOINT is the mortared or grouted space between -wythes of masonry. COLUMN, REINFORCED, isa vertical structural member in I which both the reinforcement end masonry resist compression. ‘COLUMN, UNREINFORCED, is a vertical structural mem- ber whose horizontal dimension measured at right angles to the thickness does not exceed three times the thickness. DIMENSIONS: Actual Dimensions are the measured dimensions of @ desig- nated item. The actual dimension shall not vary from ihe specified dimension by more than the amount allowed in the appropriate standard of quality in Section 2102. Nominal Dimensions of masonsy units are equal to ts speci fied dimensions plus the thickness ofthe joint with which the unit is laid. Specified Dimensions are the dimensions specified for the manufacture or construction of masonry, masonry units joims or any other component of a structure GROUT LIFT isan increment of grout height within the total grout pour. GROUT POUR is the total height of masonry wall to be _grouted prior 10 the erection of additional masonry. A grovt pour Will consist of one or more grout lift. GROUTED MASONR) Grovted Hollow-unit Masonry is that form of grouted zasonry construction in which cerain designated cells of hollow ‘nits are continuously led with grou. Grouted Multiwythe Masonry is that form of grouted rmssonry construction in which the space between the wyihes is solidly or periodically filled with prox. JOINTS: Bed Joint isthe mortar joint that is horizontal at the time the smasoniy units ae places. Teed Joint is the mortar joint having # vertical transverse plone MASONRY UNIT is brick, til, stone, ass block or concrete ‘lock confosming othe equirements specified in Section 2102.
