"dala" concrete block (concrete bond bean) Explanation: Shelter Construction: Most every Shelter is 14 feet x 32 feet. The size is controlled by the common lot width and the length that rafters are available. Sixteen feet is the maximum length and most lots are about 59 feet x 29 feet wide. When I say most every Shelter is 14’ x 32’, we built a duplex for two sisters’ families that were close to each other on the list and lived next door to each other. We zeroed out the center lot line with a common masonry wall and built to within 4 feet of the other side lot lines. We have also built smaller shelters to fit on the lot that had on-site constraints such as soils conditions, drainage channels, etc. The foundation is a minimum 14” wide x 8” deep with 2 sticks of ½” rebar and concrete filled. A cement block stem wall is placed on the footing to at least 2” above highest grade of the lot and is grouted solid with concrete. Twenty courses of ladrillo (burnt adobe – fired brick) are placed on the stem wall. Ladrillo are 7 inches wide and anywhere from 14” to 14 ¾” long. And, sometimes you are blessed with a mix of them in the same delivery. With the mortar joint, each course is about 4 3/16” high. On the 20th course, 1”x 8” forms are fastened together in a trough design. Castillo, a 4” square mesh of steel twenty feet long is placed in the form and the form is poured full with concrete. This concrete bond bean is called a ‘dala’ which closely rhymes with mama. Six inch long x ½” anchor bolts are placed in the wet dala for the low long-wall and 24” anchor bolts are placed in the dala for the high wall. After the dala has set, four more courses of ladrillo are laid on the high wall and the side walls are tapered to the low wall.
