01.030.0332 Base of Wall | Anchored Brick Veneer, CMU Backing, CMU Foundation

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.

Perimeter expansion joints are required at all changes in plane and terminations of the tile. This detail illustrates a perimeter expansion joint in tile floor where it terminates into the wall. Backer rod in the joint prevents three-sided adhesion of the sealant. Joint width of perimeter expansion joints are as specified by the design professional. Sealant type shall be specified by design professional and shall be compatible with other components in the system. This detail is based on Tile Council of North America (TCNA) method EJ171I. 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.
