HARDSCAPE Exterior Paving with Clay Masonry 1 AIA CEU Many types of materials have been used over the centuries to provide level surfaces on which man can walk and ride. Of these materials, brick has proven to be the most aesthetically pleasing and durable, while also allowing for unique design of pattern and form. There is such an abundance of systems available for use in brick paving that designing a durable system is often confusing. This seminar is designed to reduce the volume of materials and assemblies to a manageable number. The presentation discusses proven systems which perform successfully in most applications, including mortared (rigid) assemblies as well as un-mortared (flexible) assemblies. Proper detailing and installation of each of the common elements in a masonry paving (sub-grade, base, setting bed, and wearing surface) are discussed in detail. Discussion will include: correct specification of materials, required thickness of base bed and brick, available edge systems, and proper spacing of expansion joints as well as the effects of bond pattern, existing drainage techniques and effects of expected traffic. Other topics included in this presentation are -Bond Pattern What effects, other than aesthetic, does bond pattern have on a paving system? Drainage Techniques Surface and subsurface drainage requirements. Mortared versus Un-mortared Applications What are the advantages and limitations of each? Traffic How does expected traffic both pedestrian and vehicular affect brick-work? Expansion Joints Materials, compressibility, and sizing requirements. Durability How does the compressive strength of brick really affect durability? ASTM Heavy vehicular paving requirements (C1272) vs. light traffic requirements (C902).

MASONRY Adding Interest with Brick Shapes Main Heading 1 AIA CEU 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 How tight of a radius can be turned without using a special shape. Corners Should obtuse angle corners be designed with 8 inch and 4 inch leg or a 6 inch and 2 inch leg? Standard Brick Special shapes are not necessary in many job specific applications including arches, sills, and caps. Historical Reference We often forget that many histori-cal details, that included special shapes, were used for more than just aesthetic reasons. Sculpture Brick masonry and its use as sculpture is on the rise. Examples of brick sculpture will be presented and discussed Presenter: Gary Clark Glen-Gery

MASONRY Avoiding Cracks in Brickwork Main Heading 1 AIA CEU 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. Proper detailing and installation of movement joints, reinforcement, and brick veneer wall movement as a whole, is discussed in detail. Discussion also includes: The difference between expansion joints and control joints, proper spacing of movement joints, and how to hide these joints. Other topics included in this presentation are -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? Moisture expansion Why is moisture expansion an increased concern in brick veneer. Joint reinforcement Which type, truss or ladder. Are three wires necessary? Creep How much effect does creep have when considering vertical movement of a ten? (10) story building.

MASONRY Brick Veneer with Metal Stud Backup 1 AIA CEU Throughout the relatively short history of metal stud backup for brick veneer, there has been much research along with subsequent reports, papers, materials and ideas put forth by material manufacturers, trade associations and ‘consultants’ touting the advantages and disadvantages of the system. Much of the informa-tion is confusing, and even conflicts with information from other sources. This presentation is designed to address just such information, so that educated decisions may be made on when and how the system should be used. Discussion focuses on the wall as a system and with any system, there are both advantages and limitations. Glen-Gery is not promoting this system over any other system, nor do we claim to have all the answers. We do, however, feel it is our responsibility to inform all interested parties, who may be involved in the design or use of the system, of potential problems and offer some possible solutions. Discussion will focus on the various inherent concerns which have risen from and field investigations includ-ing: corrosion protection, deflection criteria, proper installation, and the use of the wall system as a variation of the drainage wall that has been used historically. Other topics included in this presentation are -Wall Ties Are there advantages of one type over another and how often should they be spaced. Specifications How galvanized coatings are properly specified. Wall Thickness What width airspace is recommended and why. How does rigid insulation affect the airspace? Deflection What are the recommended deflection requirements for brick veneer? Condensation Where does dew point occur in the brick veneer/stud wall, and how does it affect performance.

MASONRY Brick Manufacturing and Specifications 1 AIA CEU Brick has been used as a building material for centuries. As a result, brick are often thought to be a relatively easy material to manufacture. On the other hand, we expect much more of the brick manufactured today: a wider range of colors, tighter tolerances, and greater durability of both molded and extruded brick. Brick manufacturing is a science unto itself. This presentation focuses on how brick are made, including discussion regarding: appropriate raw material, forming of brick units, surface colors and textures, firing and testing of brick units to ensure a durable finished product. The focus then turns to specifications. Discussion will include: the purpose of ASTM Standards, differences between face brick, building brick, paving brick and hollow brick specifications, and various durability and appearance characteristics (including a detailed comparison between face brick and paving brick characteristics). We will discuss compressive strength, absorption characteristics, and dimensional tolerances, along with how these characteristics should be specified. Other topics included in this presentation areMolded versus Extruded How each is formed and how such formation affects appearance and durability Core Holes and Frogs How do they affect final design and why they are included in manufacture Finishing Faces When are brick shapes needed to ensure that all exposed brick faces are finished? Saturation Coefficient What is a C/B ratio and how does it affect durability. Initial Rate of Absorption vs. Absorption How does each affect durability? Pavers Why the required minimum compressive strength varies between molded and extruded when specified according to ASTM C902

MASONRY Exploring the Many Advantages of Big Brick Main Heading 1 AIA CEU 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 as well. Employing larger sizes of brick on your project can reduce the installed cost of masonry drastically and allow you to use a product that is green, energy efficient, does not fade, and has little, if any 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 see the end cost from normal modular brick to the larger sizes. Mason’s Production The main advantage gained from using larger masonry units is the production seen from laying more of the wall in a day’s time. We will also compare production with a large unit versus a standard modular unit. Coursing and Patterns Larger brick usually 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.

MASONRY Reinforced Single Wythe Masonry 1 AIA CEU The almost universal use of clay masonry as a non-load bearing cladding—a veneer—has allowed us to forget that clay masonry’s origins were as a load bearing material. For millennia, clay brick masonry was the shell that supported the roofs over our ancestors’ heads. Only in the past century has that relationship changed. Veneers replaced load bearing construction. Load bearing concrete masonry units replaced load bearing clay bricks. The incredible strength and economy of load bearing clay masonry have been lost. Some in the brick industry want to bring back reinforced, load bearing, single wythe clay masonry. This type of masonry construction provides a combination of a durable, weather-resistant, long-lived exterior and an economical, high-strength, ductile structural system that is irresistible. Topics to be covered include Structural Design This is different from the normal school of thought. Single wythe walls are extremely strong. We will see what the requirements are for this type of building. Security As with all masonry buildings, single wythe masonry buildings have very high sound resistance factors. They will also give you a 3-hour fire rating. Impact resistance, energy efficiency, thermal comfort, all factor into this type of building. Cost Advantages Even though these types of units are much larger, the installed cost makes this a very economical way to build. The owner has much more room inside to rent. The mason has to lay less brick. We will examine the actual cost of a single wythe building versus a typical wood stud/brick veneer building. Aesthetic Advantages While concrete units are the choice for most of these types of buildings, clay units have many more advantages. Clay units use no pigments that leach out over time. Clay can also be cleaned easier than concrete units since you can use an acidic cleaner on them. Presenter: Gary Clark Glen-Gery Brick CALL 708-237-5600

MASONRY Water Penetration Resistance in Brick Veneer 1 AIA CEU 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 pene-tration 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. Once the ‘concept’ is explained proper treatment of each detail in the wall system falls into place as discussion continues with various wall conditions; including, base flashing, shelf angle conditions, wall openings, and parapets. Discussion includes: Which details work to keep moisture out of the wall--and which do not, which mortar type is best for specific applications, how to keep efflorescence to a minimum, and where flashing and weepholes should be placed to be most effective. 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? Wall cap details Why are parapets so often a problem? Flashing and weepholes Which types are most effective?

Working with the Brick Industry Association (BIA), his thin brick program was successfully approved by the AIA in 2009. Since approval, Mike has presented the AIA Thin Brick program to many architectural firms and groups throughout the Northeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions.
