Masonry Support.

Description

This CPD will provide the ability for delegates to learn directly from our expert engineers about Masonry Support, its importance and why specifying high quality masonry support early in a project is as important as laying solid foundations, to ensure buildings meet safety regulations and last the test of time. Masonry Support is a common feature found in masonry clad buildings worldwide. Masonry Support has the critical function of taking the external masonry load and applying it back to the structure of the supporting building. Masonry Support is required to allow for differential movement between the masonry panels and structure around the building and is normally located at horizontal movement joints, window heads, soffits or large openings. Support is usually installed at every, or every other floor depending on the cavity size, structure type, structure size, and load. By the end of this seminar delegates should understand: 1. What is masonry support and why is it required? 2. The design considerations. 3. How to specify the right system. 4. Good practice in Masonry Support. 5. Associated products, working as a system.
