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?

Glen-Gery's Jay Moersen on Introduction to Thin Brick Systems. An AIA credited (1 LU/HSW credit) presentation held via Zoom

About this Event

ZOOM LINK HERE

also emailed out to registrants 2 hours and 10 minutes beforehand

Introduction to Think Brick Systems

One of the new developments in construction is the increased use of thin veneer systems. Clay brick is a perfect fit for these types of installations. We will discuss basic wall detailing and construction. There are multiple combinations of materials to use in a thin brick wall. We will minimize the confusion and give you a clear and concise way to achieve a sound thin brick wall. Topics to be covered include :

Manufacturing

We will look at the way in which thin brick are made and how this affects their use. Certain processes are better suited for different types of installations.

Installation

As mentioned previously, thin brick can be installed in a variety of ways. We will examine all options and give the positives and negatives with each.

Cost and Estimation

There is some misinformation on the actual cost of a thin brick wall. We will look at the special concerns related to thin brick and show you an accurate comparison with other walls to allow you and your owner to make an informed decision.

Life Cycle / Durability

There has been some concern with regards to the life cycle of these thin veneer walls. We will also discuss real world expectations for these systems.

Learning Objective 1:

Identify the environmental benefits of thin clay brick.

Learning Objective 2:

Discuss potential cost saving related to the use of thin brick when compared to face brick.

Learning Objective 3:

Compare and contrast physical properties of thin brick used in adhered veneer assemblies with face brick in anchored veneer applications

Learning Objective 4:

Discuss the various thin brick veneer wall systems and application available including Precast, Tilt-Up, and Adhered Applications and their performance relating to use as an exterior wall system including water penetration resistance and movement.
