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.

01.030.0606 Window head | Anchored veneer, CMU backing, fixed lintel

This detail illustrates a masonry window head condition with a fixed steel lintel angle anchored to the concrete masonry backing as often used for long-span openings such as ribbon windows. The lintel angle's position may be adjusted vertically via slotted holes and horizontally via shims. The CMU is supported across the opening by a two-course grouted, reinforced masonry lintel integral to the block. A vertical control joint in the CMU is treated with transition membrane which engages with the air/moisture/vapor barrier in the field of the wall providing continuous resistance to air and moisture. Continuous insulation offers excellent thermal control. An optional cavity drainage insert above the lintel protects the weep vents at the bottom of the cavity from becoming obstructed. The steel lintel is protected with thru-wall flashing returning vertically at each end to form an end dam. The durable drip edge guards against moisture reentry and may be notched to avoid excessively thic...

10.030.0432 Sill and mullion rebuild | Terra cotta, pressed

This detail illustrates a modern rebuild strategy for replacing existing architectural terra cotta (TC) sill, mullion, and accessory units around window openings. The existing TC is replaced with new hand pressed TC units, installed not filled, with weep holes at the underside of each overhanging unit; each secured with new stainless-steel anchorage. In restoring and rebuilding these types of historic wall systems, moisture mitigation is critical to their long-term preservation and performance. Moisture management measures in this detail include horizontal skyward-facing joint treatment of sealant or lead T-caps, and an integrated flashing system beneath the sill. The flashing system includes a self-adhering flashing with ends dams secured by a termination bar with continuous sealant, a stainless-steel drip edge, and weeps in the vertical joints. The existing structural steel supports are also protected by cleaning and coating with a corrosion-inhibiting coating. These TC rebuild deta...
