allowable flexural tension for masonry
table 2.2.3.2 in the aci 530 gives values for flexural tension.  would normal to bed joint mean my masonry wall would be spanning vertically?  i get this confused everytime i look at it.  thanks

yes.  the bed joint is the horizontal joint - so normal to that is vertical, which is the direction of the tension stress you get for a wall spanning vertically.
