Subjects

Abstract

Improperly controlled moisture can rob masonry walls of much of their service life. New developments in flashings, anchor ties and drainage boards can help builders protect walls from moisture. Composite and rubberized-asphalt flashing materials can be hand formed at the building site, making them easier and less costly to install than traditional stainless steel or copper flashings., Water is the essence of life, but it can be the death knell for a poorly designed masonry wall system. Wind-driven rain and improperly controlled condensation are among the main [...]

Author

Subjects

Abstract

Solid masonry walls may be better than cavity walls. Walls were traditionally built of stone or dried clay with bricks coming into use from the 15th century. Cavity walls with damp-proof courses were first built in the 19th century and are now the dominant type. However, solid masonry may be better. Thermal insulation has now to be added to almost all walls, problems have arisen with cavity construction and cavity brick has a boring appearance. There are three types of masonry wall designed to resist driving rain: the 'raincoat', the cavity and the 'overcoat.'

Abstract

The most extensive harm to building occupants in a bomb attack is due to poor protective qualities of external walls. Buildings rarely collapse due to bombing. Designers can design walls which protect building occupants by being strong enough to withstand exterior bomb blasts, and by allowing pressure to vent after interior explosions. Design considerations can include installation of shatterproof glass or of blast curtains to capture shattered glass. Owners have to consider all the possibilities and make decisions concerning acceptable costs and risks.

Abstract

Basement walls may be designed and constructed by starting with preliminary excavations of vertical cuts in cohesive soil. Basement wall panels can subsequently be installed and the areas behind the walls infilled with lighweight backfill. However, this innovative approach is limited by safety factors associated with vertical backcut, which accounts for more deaths and injuries than any construction activity. In addition, problems may be encountered due to the absence of backdrains and footings.
