2024 IIBEC OBEC BES Session- Anchored Brick Veneer: What Can Go Wrong and How to Prevent This (Isackson, D.)

2024 BES Session: Anchored Brick Veneer: What Can Go Wrong and How to Prevent This

Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC/OBEC Building Enclosure Symposium in Toronto, Canada.  This course includes the following components:

• recording of the live session
• a summative assessment consisting of 10 questions
• two surveys required to claim continuing education credit

Description
This presentation is intended for architects and engineers involved in the design and/or investigation of anchored brick veneer. The presentation will discuss a brief history of the sustainability of brick and present real-life examples of anchored brick veneer failures/deficiencies. Observing the pattern, location, and nature of the brick failure can provide clues to the inherent design and/or construction deficiency.  These deficiencies include the pattern and orientation of the crack (corner, stair-step pattern, vertical, horizontal), sealant failures, bowed brick veneer, and efflorescence. The presentation will provide an overview of code requirements and discuss the best practices for the design of new anchored brick veneer.  The costs to repair deficient anchored brick veneer can be substantial; a proper design will ensure a long-term and durable brick veneer system, with minimal maintenance.
