According to model codes: connection of masonry web shear walls to
Masonry flange walls must be accomplished using which of the following details? Check the three that apply.

Running bond
Bond beams
Stacked bond
Steel dowels

I am having trouble understanding what this question is asking??

The answers are running bond, bond beams, metal plate strap anchors

I struggled to understand this as well so I dug into it a little more. Consider a 'T' or 'L' shaped wall. How is the shear transferred at the connection? Scroll down to page 11 of the attached link so you can visually see what I'm referring too.
