Demystifying Masonry Anchors: A Guide to Getting it Right Every Time

This course provides simple, but detailed guidance for choosing masonry anchors that provide the best performance and compatibility with other wall assembly components. overview Building code requirements that determine the anchor types for various masonry wall applications are identified. Characteristics of different anchor types are compared and recommendations are given for attachment to wood stud, steel stud, CMU and concrete backings, based on consideration of material movements and air space dimensions, as well as they types of membranes and continuous insulation.

Learning Objectives

1. Review appropriate anchor types and methods for anchoring masonry to wood and steel studs.

2. Identify proper anchors for masonry with continuous insulation.

3. Discuss options for anchoring full bed depth stone veneer to stud and CMU backings.

4. Compare anchor designs and options for attachment of masonry veneer to CMU and concrete construction.

Basics of Brickwork Detailing

Water penetration is responsible for many of the problems encountered in masonry walls today. The successful performance of a masonry wall depends on limiting the amount of water penetration and controlling any water that does enter the wall system. Water penetration resistance and control in brick veneer is the focus of this presentation. The concept behind the ‘brick veneer drainage wall’ is discussed in detail, as well as, the proper materials to specify in order to maximize a wall's water penetration resistance. The various elements and materials which make up a building are in a constant state of motion. All building materials expand and contract due to changes in temperature; some materials move with changes in moisture content. Each building material also changes dimensions due to stress and some materials tend to flow when subjected to sustained loads. These major causes of movement: thermal, moisture, deflection and creep, along with the proper way to control these movements are the focus of this presentation.

Other topics included in this presentation are --

• Workmanship: What to expect from the mason.

• Airspaces: Why is the airspace so important and what are the minimum requirements for proper performance.

• Colorless Coatings: When should they be used? Are they always effective?

• Flashing and Weepholes: Which types are most effective?

• Expansion Joints, Control Joints, Building Expansion Joints: Is there really a difference, or is it just semantics.

• Joint Spacing: Is there an appropriate ‘Rule of Thumb’ - or can such a rule lead to cracking?

• Compressible Fill: Where should it be used and why.

• Shelf Angle Details: What must occur at shelf angles to allow for the expected movements?

The Philadelphia Emerging Architect’s Welcome Event is back for 2023!

The Welcome Event has always been our way to kick off the year and share who we are and what we do to new and returning members. It is also a chance for emerging professionals to connect with our committee and other people in the AEC industry.

Whether you were involved with our committee before or are hearing about us for the first time this event is for you! A night of networking and light refreshments, the Welcome Event is a fantastic way to get involved in the Design community of Philadelphia.

The term “emerging professionals” ranges from a new graduate to someone who has been licensed for 10 years so we hope you'll join us on March 2nd at 6:30pm in person at Brickworks Design Studio.

Exploring the Many Advantages of Big Brick

Clay brick provides you with many advantages. Hundreds of different colors, shapes and textures are just a few examples. We can also manufacture brick in many different sizes. Employing larger brick on your project can reduce the installed cost of masonry drastically and enhance its sustainability, energy efficiency, as well as reduce maintenance cost.

Topics to be covered include:

Manufacturing

We will look at the way in which brick are made and how this affects their use with special emphasis given to larger units. At this point we will also talk about manufacturer’s efforts to be environmentally friendly.

Cost and Estimation

We will explore a typical wall and compare the final costs of modular brick to the larger sizes.

Mason’s Production

The main advantage gained from using larger masonry units is an increased in the wall area laid each day. We will compare production with a large unit versus a standard modular unit.

Coursing and Patterns

Larger brick may have different coursing requirements. We will look at these and give you all the tools you will need to make your building something to be proud of.
