Masonry
Veneer, 3rd Edition, is based on practical technical information. This
book is a must for understanding what makes a veneer system work and is
an essential tool for Architects, Designers, Building Officials,
Inspectors, Masons and Masonry Contractors.
Currently most building codes recognize two basic methods to install
masonry veneer:
Adhered veneer secures the masonry units to the structural back-up using
bonding material.
Anchored veneer attaches the masonry to the structural back-up using
mechanical fasteners called anchor ties or veneer ties.
The International Building Code allows the use of alternative systems
based on engineering principles such as reinforced veneer, masonry
panels and stone panels on structural frame back-ups.
This book addresses essential information on: System Requirements
(Adhered Veneer and Anchored Veneer), Materials (Shelf Angles, Expansion
Joints, Flashing, Weep Holes, and Connectors), Details, and Guide
Specifications
The success of any veneer system depends on the proper design, selection
of durable materials and quality construction. This book guides the
designer and installer in developing a quality masonry veneer system.
