BRICK CONSTRUCTION

Interior Loadbearing Walls

Typical details for interior loadbearing brick masonry walls are shown in Fig. 2. These details are similar to conventional loadbearing construction. Wood floor joists bearing on the brick should be fire cut.

Interior Non-Loadbearing Walls

Interior non-loadbearing brick wall construction is quite similar to conventional brick veneer construction. The brick veneer should be constructed as shown in Fig. 3. The brick masonry should be continuous through all floor intersections so that all the brick masonry bears on the foundation or foundation wall and complies with building code fire safety requirements. Additional information on brick veneer construction is provided in Technical Notes 28 Series.
