WHEN FIELD PERFORMANCE OF MASONRY DOES NOT CORRELATE WITH LAB TEST RESULTSPeter Meijer Architect, PC
Peter Meijer AIA, NCARB presentation from the 2015 RCI Building Envelope Technology Symposium. Portland Public Schools, Grant High School is the case study. New Home Construction
This document outlines the steps involved in new home construction including foundation waterproofing, steel installation, floor joists, wall framing, rafters, masonry, brick, infeltrators, infiltrators with gravel, leader drains, and stairs.
Realistic Assessment of Distressed Structures
This document summarizes several issues related to corrosion and deterioration of concrete structures:
- Corrosion of embedded steel rebar in concrete can cause cracking as corrosion products occupy more space than the original steel. Fibers in concrete can help control cracking and spalling.
- Remedial measures for corroded steel reinforcement include increasing concrete cover thickness, improving concrete quality to reduce penetrability, and using stainless steel or epoxy coatings.
- Repair of historic brick structures requires addressing causes of decay like water saturation, salt crystallization, or frost damage. Minor repointing of joints or replacing individual bricks may suffice, while more extensive cracking requires stitching or building up with mortar or thin
Building materials
Concrete is a composite building material made of coarse aggregate particles bonded together with a hard matrix. The most common type of concrete is Portland cement concrete, which consists of mineral aggregate like gravel and sand, Portland cement, and water. Cement is a binder that sets and hardens, binding other materials together. In ancient Rome, burnt lime was used as a binder with crushed rock and additives like volcanic ash or brick to create an early version of concrete.

Brick masonary
Brick is a basic building material used in rectangular blocks, with standard sizes including 9x4.5x3 inches, and brick masonry involves laying bricks in mortar to form a strong, homogeneous structure; common brick bonds include running bond, header bond, English bond, and Flemish bond which arrange bricks to break vertical joints; reinforced brick masonry includes rebar embedded in mortar to strengthen brick walls for high load or seismic areas.
Bricks
Bricks have been used as a building material since 7000BC, originally made of sun-dried mud but later fired bricks proved more durable. Bricks are now one of the most commonly used building materials after wood. They are manufactured through processes like soft mud, dry press, and extrusion from raw materials like clay, calcium silicate, or concrete. Bricks provide benefits like strength, fire resistance, insulation, and durability making them a versatile and long-lasting building material.

Masonry part 3
Masonry loadbearing walls can be reinforced or unreinforced, with reinforcement increasing the load carrying capacity. There are different types of masonry walls including single wythe solid walls, cavity walls with an inner and outer wythe separated by air space, and composite walls made of two different materials. Cavity walls provide insulation and drainage benefits. Masonry walls require flashing at openings and shelf angles to prevent moisture penetration. Thermal insulation can be installed inside the wall cavity, in hollow cores, or on the exterior face. Masonry construction involves integrating masonry walls with other building materials like wood, steel, and concrete.
