Sec. 2104.6.1
so that all spaces designated to be grouted shall be filled and the grout
shall be confined to those specific places.

Grout shall be poured from less than 5ft (1.52m) and grout lift height less
SAES-M-100

Sec. C.3
(ACI 530.1, Sec 3.5C. & 3.5D.)

A16
adequate fluidity for placement without segregation of the constituents. Sec. 2104.6.1

Grouting of any section of wall shall be completed in one day with no 1997 UBC
A17
interruptions greater than one hour. Sec. 2104.6.1

Between grout pours, a horizontal construction joint shall be formed by

stopping all wythes at the same elevation and with the grout stopping a
1997 UBC
