Seismic Note:
Ther are no seismic adjustments since the grouted cores are location dependant and account for any extra material needed in seismic areas.
Block Size Note:
This assembly uses 190mm x 390mm blocks, surrounded by 10mm mortar joints, to arrive at a nominal block size of 200mm x 400mm, or 8" x 16" blocks. This results in 12.5 blocks per square metre of wall area.
