CodeMaster: Masonry Materials (2006 IBC) provides information on eight different masonry materials that work together forming a safe and durable wall system. Both the designer and the contractor must understand the materials to effectively design and install the individual components creating a complete wall system that conforms to the life safety requirements for the building code.
This CodeMaster presents information on establishing the correct quality control standards required for masonry design and construction, and explanations are given for the unique characteristics associated with masonry materials.
When the governing jurisdiction adopts a building code, typically the International Building Code, certain provisions are also automatically adopted. Section 2103 of the IBC is titled Masonry Construction Materials and lists the required material criteria. Most frequently, the IBC makes reference to the ASTM Standards. |
