01.030.0332 Base of Wall | Anchored Brick Veneer, CMU Backing, CMU Foundation
This detail illustrates a base of wall condition with a partially grouted and reinforced concrete masonry foundation. Below grade waterproofing and an air/moisture/vapor barrier above grade provide continuous resistance to air and moisture, and continuous insulation offers excellent thermal control. The flexible thru-wall flashing is supported across the cavity with rigid insulation and grout. An optional cavity drainage insert protects the weep vents from becoming obstructed. The detail incorporates a vertical brick expansion joint and a vertical control joint at the block backing. Finish grade is held away from the wall with a gravel mowing strip protecting the masonry against moisture. A system of flashing and weeps at the base allow moisture to exit the drainage cavity. The durable drip edge guards against moisture reentry and may be notched to avoid excessively thick laps.

    Very nice progress! Hard to tell, is the end of the drip edge notched? Prefer to show only two course of 16" foundation block. This way it will fit better on a PPTX slide.

      Thanks for the reminder about the notched flashing… I’ll be doing insets as we discussed for some of the repetitive elements like notched drip, mortar wash,

    Maybe we only show the rigid insulation joint material (i.e. SPF) at a portion of the board joint to convey that it generally will be used at localized areas (as needed….Trimble is working on the NOTE) which intended to maintain thermal continuity due to large gaps. My thoughts if it is drawn the entire board joint length it implies 100% as opposed to localized regions.

    Agree with Pat…too much below grade shown.

02.120.0215 Grout pour at top of concrete masonry wall

This detail shows accommodations for a top-of-wall grout pour. Grout is poured into the top course bond beam via a grout bag or funnel through 6" x 6" holes cut into the corrugated decking every 6" on center. Midway between the pour holes are 4" dia. inspection holes to verify grout placement and flow. The concrete masonry wall is secured to the suspende slab above with angles on both sides of the wall welded to a steel plate, which is anchored to the bottom of the flutes of the decking above. The angles are secured to the masonry with self tapping screws. The top of the masonry is held back about 1 1/2" from the plate above. This detail as shown is intended to illustrate a general concept or method of construction. Details that show different or modified concepts or methods can be of equal validity and should not be excluded from consideration. this detail shall not be used for construction without the approval an signature of a licensed design professional.

01.070.0301 Base of Wall | Adhered Brick Veneer, CMU Backing, Lath & Scratch Coat

01.070.0301 Base of Wall | Adhered Brick Veneer, CMU Backing, Lath & Scratch Coat This detail illustrates a base of wall condition for adhered brick veneer over concrete masonry (CMU) backing. A continuous air/moisture/vapor barrier (WRB) over the CMU includes a transition membrane at the control joint, and provides resistance to air and moisture. Continuous insulation provides thermal control to supplement the natural thermal mass of the masonry backing. Used as a rainscreen device, the drainage mat with protective filter fabric allows moisture to escape the wall via the corrosion resistant perforated weep screed at the horizontal termination. The WRB is applied over the weep screed in shingle fashion. A self-furring lath embedded in a scratch coat of mortar reinforces the veneer system. The veneer is adhered to the reinforced scratch coat with a bond coat of polymer modified mortar. The joints between the units may be pointed in using a masonry mortar.
