Horizontal reinforcement helps to evenly.
For example you can make a concrete block wall stronger than a poured concrete wall by simply adding some reinforcing steel and additional mortar to the block wall.
The wall system includes a vapor retarder which more effectively resists moisture intrusion over cmu block and poured concrete wall foundations.
Strength reduced from 136 7 to 114 9 in kips.

There are three types of action a reinforced concrete wall can be subjected to.
Concrete masonry is used to construct various foundation wall types including full basement walls crawlspace walls stem walls and piers.
They have an r value of greater than 20 making them much more energy efficient than cmu blocks or poured concrete foundations.
The addition of reinforcing steel to either wall system complicates the issue.
