Brick Product &Technical Specifications

This presentation will elaborate upon the information typically presented in a brick product technical data sheet, using typical Glen-Gery technical data sheets as examples. An overview of frequently encountered American brick standards will be provided. This will be followed by in-depth descriptions of the individual tests reported on in the data sheet, as well as the interpretation and significance of the reported values and their respective limits. You will earn 1 LU/HSW credit for attending. 

This presentation should teach attendees-

• Analyze a typical brick technical data sheet to find physical properties related to brick durability.
• Apply appropriate ASTM brick standards and based on intended use and building application.
• Compare the requirements of “Grade”, “Class”, and “Type” applications within common brick standards.
• Explore how tests used to determine commonly reported brick properties are performed.
• Describe the significance of the reported values and how they relate to product performance.

Enhancing Thin Masonry Veneer: Metal Support Systems

This session will examine the design and performance of metal backing systems that mechanically support thin masonry veneers. Join us to compare various systems and traditionally laid face brick masonry as well as review critical design and installation factors.

You'll also learn about performance tests that establish code compliance for proprietary thin veneer support systems and explore strategies for water penetration, structural performance, thermal efficiency, and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 285 approval.

Learning Objectives

1. Discover water management strategies for mechanically supported thin masonry veneer systems.
2. Analyze veneer support methods for mechanically supported thin veneer systems.
3. Explore requirements for supporting thin masonry veneer over continuous insulation.
4. Learn how thin masonry veneer systems comply with building codes

Adding Interest with Brick Shapes

One important reason for brick's popularity is its ability to adapt to design criteria. It can be shaped and used in a wide variety of traditional and contemporary detailing: Such as arches to sills, copings, columns and treads. This program focuses on the use of shapes, not only to increase the aesthetic quality of brickwork, but also toward accomplishing better detailing and better performing brickwork. Many applications involve units that are not normally considered to be brick shapes. Increased water penetration resistance, reducing the size of expansion joints, and the proper design of acute angle corners, can all be realized through the use of shapes.

Discussion will focus on increased performance of brickwork through the use of specially designed brick, i.e. arch design and versatility, sloped sills and caps, shelf angle brick, and even brick sculpture. Included will be discussion on how to reduce the cost of shapes through individual brick design and considerations of color, size, and bond patterns.

Other topics included in this presentation are --

Manufacturing

Glen-Gery makes every effort to see that special shapes match the color of the field brick used.

Radial Brick

What is the smallest radius possible without using a special shape?

Corners

Should obtuse angle corners be designed with 8 inch and 4 inch legs or a 6-inch and 2 inch leg?

Standard Brick

Special shapes are unnecessary in many job-specific applications including arches, sills, and caps.

Historical Reference

We often forget that many historical details, that included special shapes, were used for more than just aesthetic reasons.

Sculpture

Brick masonry and its use as sculpture are on the rise. Examples of brick sculpture will be presented and discussed.
