Sustainability in Mason Construction

Green Build
The future will be green, or not at all. This truth lies at the heart of humankinds most pressing challenge: to learn to live in harmony with the Earth on a genuinely sustainable basis.
-Sir Jonathon Porritt

Hohmann and Barnard, Inc. Sustainable Anchors

Our anchoring products lend structural support and integrity to the buildings in which they are incorporated thereby allowing for years of durability and preservation of our planets natural environmental resources.

Masonry buildings are extremely durable. Their greatest enemies are commonplace: water and movement caused by thermal expansion. When confined water freezes, it expands with tremendous pressure, causing cracking, crazing, spalling and deterioration of masonry surfaces. Movement of wall systems results in the cracking of masonry, which then provides easy entry for moisture.

Masonry buildings are extremely durable. The University of Southern California is an example where measures were taken to ensure proper building practices.

Building Movement
Movement of wall systems results in the cracking of masonry, which then provides easy entry for moisture.

Effloresence
Salt and mineral deposits left behind on brick or masonry surfaces.

Spalling
If saturated when frozen, pressure from expanding ice can fracture brick, block, or stone.

Rust to Steel Components

Moisture penetrating into the cavity can rust and damage steel framing components including brick anchoring systems and joint reinforcements.

Anchor Options
Over time, ties of various sizes, configurations, and adjustability have been developed for load-bearing masonry, often of different materials; anchor masonry veneer to backing systems other than masonry; and connect composite masonry walls.

Anchoring
Typically, wall ties perform four primary functions between a wythe of brick and its backing or another wythe of masonry. Provide a Connection

Anchoring
Provide a connection Transfer lateral loads

Anchoring
Provide a connection Transfer lateral loads The ability to handle differential movement or in some cases, restrict movement Air barrier interface

Anchoring Walls:
Are you confident enough to use eye wire?

Tru-Joint Feature
The Tru-Joint feature was developed for masons to easily maintain a standard 3/8 joint thickness, without concern for excessive wire buildup when eyes are welded onto backup joint reinforcement.

To add Sustainability and Integrity to your Masonry Wall, Specify a Closed Loop System

Closed Loop Truss System

1
Wire Clip Welded Loops Continuous Wire Optional Lok Washer holds insulation in place 3/16 Box Tie Welded Loops
When brick coursing is not within 1 loop dimension, use Bent-Box Tie for an additional 1 adjustability

Adjustable Joint Reinforcement Comparison

Allows In-Plane Vertical and Horizontal Movement of Masonry Wythes, While Restraining Tension and Compression. Horizontal Eyelets Easily Clogged with Mortar Often Relies on Workmanship to Assure Proper Engagement of Pintle Within Allowable Limits of Eccentricity No Horizontal Movement Eyelets NOT Welded Shut No Guarantee that Improperly Installed Pintle (Beyond Its Allowable Eccentricity) will not Separate from Reinforcement Loops Welded Shut to Maintain Allowable Tolerance and System Integrity. Vertical Configuration of Loops Not Susceptible to Clogging with Mortar as Construction Progresses. Foolproof. Mason Can Not Install Wire Tie Beyond Allowable Eccentricity. Vertical loops have 2 adjustability. Ideal for Econo or Utility Bricks.

Drywall Construction with Metal Studs

The Challenge:
To prevent long-term deterioration of the insulation or wall board due to moisture, while also preventing separation of the wire tie from the anchor.

The Solution: Specify Details

Specify an anchor with rib-stiffened pronged legs and back plate to seal sheathing from air and moisture infiltration. While maintaining integrity of air barrier.

Specify:
100% Protection against separation of wire tie from anchor.
(See ACI-530-02 Sec. 6.2.2.5.5.3)

Specify:

Built-in screw track for correct alignment of screw into stud.

Specify:
3 3/8 of vertical adjustability
Takes guesswork out of the laborers hands. Allows for easy installation after insulation is in place. 3-3/8

Specify:
A 14 gauge anchor capable of withstanding a 100# load in both tension and compression without deforming or developing play in excess of 0.05.

Specify:
A cross-linked polyethylene foam tape to create a pressure seal between anchor and sheathing for added protection.

Flashing Summary
Flashing must work as a system and include all components such as termination bar, drip plates, mortar collection device, etc. Determine most compatible flashing system with wall design. Compatibility with sealants and adjacent materials is critical.

User-friendly flashing systems for field personnel are important
