Masonry Detail - Brick Beam

9/18/2013

 
Shell Detail
Exterior Brick Beam is an unusual detail because the weight of the material often causes another choice to be made.  The key issue is to limit the deflection of the beam to prevent cracking in the stiff masonry. Another consideration is to prevent water from attacking the interior structural elements for durability and safety.
This detail is used in a non-load-bearing situation, but it could just as easily be load-bearing. A similarly detailed beam could also be used in the interior of a building.
The key features of the detail are the:
  • structural supporting member
  • attachment of the brick veneer to the backup
  • flashing and weep holes
  • a dependable coping system
