In a class by itself.Quality schools are all about education. There’s no better way to foster an energetic learning environment, as well as an economics lesson, than by incorporating Heritage Collection Concrete Brick into your design plans.

Abuse Resistant – School buildings serve as community buildings day and night – all year long. School walls must withstand all weather conditions, vandalism, the daily wear of kids, evening community functions, and maintenance equipment and solutions.

Acoustical Properties – Forthcoming government guidelines and/or codes will direct higher STC ratings for our school’s exterior and interior walls. Heritage Collection meets these challenges.

Aesthetics – Masonry is still, and always has been, the number one choice for school exterior and interior walls. A solid, functional, long lasting school building represents community values.

Cost Effective – When Heritage Collection brick is used as a load bearing wall system, it can compete with and/or beat many other wall systems while affording a solid, functional and beautiful choice for educational facilities.

Submittal:Submit full size color sample(s) of each color specified or selected from manufacturer’s color palette. Submit product literature, test reports, and product certifications.

Quality Assurance:Decorative (veneer/structural) concrete masonry units shall be Heritage Collection Designer Concrete Brick as manufactured by County Materials Corporation. All units shall conform to ASTM C 90 Loadbearing Concrete Masonry Units and ASTM C 1634-06 Concrete Facing Brick. Units shall have a [specify face option] (smooth, rough estate or split) face as designated on the drawings or in the specifications.

Field Constructed Mock-ups or Sample Panels:Construct a separate (not part of the actual building) sample wall panel not less than 4’ by 4’ with units in the pattern, color and shape as indicated in drawings and specifications. Cleaning agents and methods shall be performed prior to approval of the sample panel. Walls erected without a sample panel will be considered approved “as is”.

Delivery, Storage and Handling:Heritage Collection Designer Concrete Brick shall be delivered to the job site and stacked only one cube high on level ground. Delivered cubes shall be protected from inclement weather with a waterproof covering. Units shall be handled carefully to avoid breakage and damage.

Design Practices and Installation:Careful consideration should be given to the placement of control joints and the use of horizontal joint reinforcement, brick wall ties, weep holes and water resistant sealants. It is expected that Heritage Collection Designer Concrete Brick units will be laid according to the Masonry Standards Joint Committee Code and Specifications for Masonry Structures.

Control Joints:Control joints are used to relieve horizontal tensile stresses due to potential shrinkage of concrete masonry assemblages. They are vertical separations built into the wall at locations where stress concentrations may occur. These joints reduce restraint and permit longitudinal movement. Concrete brick (both in through-wall and veneer ap-plications) requires vertical control joints to accommodate latent wall contraction.

PART 1: GENERAL

Recommended Control Joint Spacing for Above Grade Exposed Concrete Masonry Walls*

DISTANCE BETWEEN JOINTS SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF:

Length to height ratio or ft (m)

Single Wythe 11/2 25 (7.62)

Veneer 11/2 20 (6.10)

1. Table values are based on the use of horizontal reinforcement having an equivalent area of not less than 0.025 in.2/ft (52.9 mm2/m) of height to keep unplanned cracks closed .

2. Criteria apply to all concrete masonry units.

3. This criteria is based on experience over a wide geographical area. Control joint spacing should be adjusted up or down where local experience justifies but no farther than 20 ft (6.10 m).

FIGURE 1: TYPICAL CONTROL JOINT LOCATIONS

TABLE 1

Control Joint Placement:Control joints should be located where volume changes in the masonry due to drying shrinkage, carbonation, or temperature changes are likely to create tension in the masonry that will exceed it’s capacity. The following are suggested methods to provide guidance in locating control joints. (see Figure 1)

1. At changes in wall height, 2. At changes in wall thickness, such as at pipe and duct chases and pilasters, 3. At (above) movement joints in foundations and floors, 4. At (below) movement joints in roofs and floors that bear on the wall, 5. Near one or both sides of door and window openings, (generally, a control joint

is placed at one side of an opening less than 6 ft wide and at both jambs of openings over 6 ft wide). Control joints can be away from the opening if adequate tensile reinforcement is placed above, below and beside wall openings.

6. Adjacent to corners of walls or intersections within a distance equal to half the control joint spacing requirement for that wall.

For more detailed control joint spacing, refer to NCMA Tek Note 10-2B and 10-4.

Empirical Crack Control:For walls containing masonry parapets, do not consider the parapet as part of the masonry wall below if recommended through-wall flashing is utilized at the Roof/Parapet Intersection, which will render the parapet as an independent wall element.

* RECOMMENDED CONTROL JOINT SPACING FOR CONCRETE MASONRY VENEERS When concrete brick is used in veneer applications, the Length to height ration remains at 1-1/2, however the distance between joints should not exceed 20ft (6.10 m).

Notes:


1�

Horizontal Joint Reinforcement:Continuous, 4” joint reinforcement is required in the bed joints 16” on center vertically in all veneer applications, in the exterior wythe of composite and noncomposite wall construction, and in through-wall masonry construction.Nonstructural, horizontal, joint reinforcement should not be continuous through control joints, since this will restrict the designed, al-lowed, horizontal movement.

Weep Holes:To properly drain water that may collect on any flashing or horizontal surface, weep holes must be provided immediately above the flashing or at all locations where a horizontal surface is formed.

Veneer Anchors:County Materials Corporation recommends using an anchor that allows for vertical & horizontal movement. Examples are DW-10 manufactured by Hohman Barnard or Type III veneer anchor w/triangular tie manufactured by Wire Bond. (see Figure 3)

Flashing:Flashing is recommended for all locations where moisture may potentially penetrate into a wall and where the free drainage of water is blocked. Some of these critical loca-tions include the top of walls at roof/parapet intersections, at all horizontal obstruc-tions such as over openings, beneath sills, above shelf angles, and at the base of walls. Flashing may also be utilized in walls at ground level to serve as a moisture retarder to reduce the amount of water wicked up into the masonry above grade. Weep holes and vents also reduce the moisture content of masonry walls.

Project/Site Conditions:During construction of exposed concrete masonry, minimize mortar and grout smears on the face of the units. Mortar droppings which adhere to the exposed face of the units can be removed with a trowel or chisel after being allowed to harden. Any remaining mortar can then be removed with a stiff fiber brush. The base of the wall should be protected from mud splattering and mortar droppings by spreading plastic sheets four feet on the ground and three feet up the wall. Cover the tops of unfinished and finished walls at the end of the workday to prevent rain and outside elements from entering the wall in order to reduce efflorescence development.

Mortar and Mortar Joints:Using a lower compressive strength mortar helps ensure that when cracks do occur, they occur in the mortar joint rather than through the unit. Type N mortar is often specified for concrete brick veneers, because it tends to be more flexible than other mortar types. (Reference: NCMA TEK 10-4) Use regular gray mortar or a complemen-tary colored mortar matching the Heritage Collection Concrete Brick. Strike mortar joints when the mortar is thumbprint hard. Concave or V-shaped joints are recom-mended for exterior applications as they properly compact the mortar against the masonry unit sealing the joint and improving moisture resistance, and fill irregular CMU flaws. Raked, flush, beaded, or extruded joints are not recommended as they do not compact the mortar and/or create ledges that intercept water running down the face of the wall. Mortared head and bed joints shall be the full thickness of the CMU face shells.

Cleaning:Heritage Collection Concrete Brick can be cleaned using traditional masonry cleaning methods, such as mild masonry detergents/cleaners and power-washing systems properly applied. Strong acids, acid washes or chemicals with a strong acid reaction should not be used, since they may reduce the water repelling properties of treated masonry and etch the surface, distorting the color. Keep the masonry wall clean as the construction progresses and use a brush and water after the mortar has hardened.

Water Repellents:The same water repellent admixture used in the block should be used in the mortar to ensure compatibility and bond.

Extreme Weather Construction:Temperatures between 40 and 90˚F (4.4 and 32.2˚C) are considered “normal” temperatures for masonry construction and therefore do not require special procedures or protection protocols. When ambient temperatures fall below 40˚F (4.4˚C), the Specification for Masonry Structures requires consideration of special construction procedures. Similarly when the minimum daily temperature for grouted masonry or the mean temperature for ungrouted masonry falls below 40˚F (4.4˚C) during the first 48 or 24 hours after construction respectively, special protection considerations are required.

Rain and Masonry Construction:The presence of rain, or the likelihood of rain, should receive special consideration during masonry construction. Unless protected, masonry construction should not continue during heavy rains, as partially set or plastic mortar is susceptible to washout, which could result in reduced strength or staining of the wall. However, after approximately 8 to 24 hours of curing (depending upon environmental conditions), mortar washout is no longer of concern. When rain is likely, all construction materials should be covered. Newly constructed masonry should be protected from rain by draping a weather-resistant covering over the assemblage. The cover should be secured in place and extend over all mortar that is susceptible to washout. (References: National Concrete Masonry Association TEKs)
