Join Glen-Gery for this presentation on brickwork.
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 move further 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 make these joint less noticeable.
This program is worth 1 HSW and lunch will be provided.
