Partial Re-Constrution of Structural Brick Walls

When the owners wanted the roof raised to proceeds habitable space over the rear wing of their home, the author [DF] needed to re-build the brick gable end of this historic structure, the Seneca Howland house located in Pleasant Valley, New York.

When comeback or repair to an existing brick construction is limited in scope it can exist resonable and economical to re-build that wall department; had this wall re-construction project not been at the very tiptop of the construction we'd have needed to add temporary support for whatever overhead brick structure, and engineering advice may have been required.

Beneath: extensive structural harm and repairs to a brick building in Brooklyn, New York confirm that at least for some valuable buildings these costly repairs were justified. One would non undertake these extensive repairs without first having diagnosed the cause of edifice settlement and damage and without besides having taken steps to stabilize the structure against further movement.

Re-Pointing or Tuckpointing Brick Walls

Brick walls that have lost mortar from the joints between bricks or brick courses may be repaired by re-pointing or "tuck pointing", a procedure that cleans and then replaces mortar that has been lost from joints.

Our photo of a tuck-pointed structural brick wall (left) shows past the colored mortar that the mason attempted to match the color of older mortar in the wall.

The repairs done at below right expect practiced.

Just a different constrict pointing repair chore (in the upper left portion of the photo where we are pointing to a damaged brick) has not fared besides, possibly due to a poor mortar choice and frost impairment.

Definition of Tuck Pointing:

Tuck pointing is the filling in with fresh mortar of cut-out or defective mortar joints; in masonry this refers to the filling of joints in old (or damaged) masonry with fresh mortar. - Masonry Blueprint Manual.

Tuck pointing, which may exist performed on both structural and veneer brick walls (as well every bit on other types of masonry) is performed for several reasons

• To stabilize the brick foundation or wall against movement. Our photograph (left shows astringent h2o and frost damage to the corner of a brick building, probably from roof spillage at the end of a gutter that was periodically chock-full.

  To stabilize these bricks against farther motility and possibly more serious foundation damage, a stonemason would probably repair the corner using a combination of reconstruction of the nearly-loose (or missing) bricks, and tuck pointing the remaining open up mortar joints.

• To stop water entry
• For cosmetic reasons

Tips for Pointing, Tuck Pointing, or Re-Pointing Brick or other Masonry Walls

at left we evidence a bad brick wall repair, tuckpointed using a too-hard mortar mix for a loose brick mortar articulation repair that also is not matched in the slightest to the original wall's mortar articulation colour, texture, nor tooling. This expedient repair invites further frost damage to the wall as well as to the brick surface.

More photos of this wall are

at BRICK WALL FROST & WATER CRACKS, EFFLORESENCE, SPALLING and

at BRICK WALL LEAK REPAIRS

This wall was ultimately re-built over a substantial expanse damaged past water and frost.

And then what is "tuckpointing"?

Working with a long narrow trowel whose width and shape are chosen to lucifer the existing mortar joints, the mason first cleans the existing mortar joints of loose mortar and debris, then pushes fresh mortar into the open joints.

The mortar joint in the tuck pointed wall should tooled to lucifer the existing mortar joints, and whatsoever mortar that has spilled onto the brick faces themselves should be cleaned before the new joints take fully hardened.

When I [DF] have washed tuckpointing or re-pointing of brick walls I prepared (thanks to advice from Eddie Kondysar, a existent bricklayer) mortar of the proper color, texture, and hardness to closely-friction match the original building mortar.

Subsequently cleaning the very soft mortar from the bad brick joints I held my mud hawk against the wall surface at the bottom of the mortar joint and used the pointing trowel to push mortar into the joint, getting as little mortar as possible on the face of the bricks.

When the joint was filled to a proper depth I tooled the joint (apartment, concave, angled in at the height of the joint, or special tooled or lined) using a trowel that matched the profile of the original brickwork.

When the mortar was set if there was a mess of mortar on the brick faces I used a scrap of hydrochloric acid to clean the brick to leave a beautiful job.

Lookout out: working with muriatic acid is unsafe and can burn you lot or put out your eyes. Utilise advisable protective gear.

The about common errors we meet in brick wall tuckpointing include

• Use of the wrong mortar for tuck pointing brick wall repairs
  • Mortar that is not matched closely in original color makes for a wall that is cosmetically unattractive. In our photograph of a tuck-pointed brick wall (Wappingers Falls, New York) shows the effects of using a too-white mortar to "repair" the gable end wall of this dwelling house.
  • Mortar that is not properly matched in hardness can cause serious spalling harm to a brick wall, peculiarly in freezing climates. When the new mortar is as well hard and too waterproof in comparing with the surrounding brick, wet that penetrates the brick wall remains trapped behind the harder mortar.

    In freezing weather the expanding force of ice pops off surfaces of the softer bricks, damaging the wall further.

  • Using caulk or sealant where mortar should be applied: when you apply a caulk or sealant to a brick or standstone (and some other stone) surface nigh likely you'll find that weathering of the softer stone, brownstone, or sandstone surface will cause the edges of the sealant or caulk to open up and pull away from the building surface.

    Come across CAULKS & SEALANTS, EXTERIOR simply use a properly-formulated mortar non caulk when re-pointing is needed on brick.

• Failure to adequately clean the brick faces after new mortar is installed, leaving a "smear" of mortar on the brick surfaces - a cosmetic defect
• Failure to make clean the brick joints earlier tuck pointing, resulting in short life for the tuckpointed "repair"

Methods of Repair of Brick Veneer Walls on Buildings

When a brick veneer wall's fasteners are found to be inadquate in original installation (by type, number, placement, or poor connexion to the building's structure), or when a brick veneer wall is loose but deemed salvageable, in that location are special retrofit connectors that can be installed to secure the veneer to the edifice. Typically the retrofit brick veneer connector is installed through holes drilled in the mortar joints, connected to the construction, and the pigsty repaired or sealed.

Shown here: the traditional and exquisitely-uncomplicated brick veneer wall tie: a corrugated galvanized steel strap that is nailed to the building's structural wall and bent outwards at a 90-degree bending to place the tie'south strap into successive mortar joints equally the veneer wall is built.

Metal wall ties such as the one shown have been used in the construction of load-bearing masonry walls in England and in North America since the 1850s.

These metal wall ties, used in brick and stone masonry wall construction served three purposes. All improvements and modifications to this very simple original wall tie must meet all of these objectives (and peradventure others).

1. To provide a strong structural connection between the brick veneer and the struture - thus avoiding a precarious wall and its collapse
2. To accomodate motility and differences in motility between the masonry or brick veneer and the construction to which information technology is attached; such movements occur due to changes in temperature and humdity in unlike building materials. If such movement is not accomodated the veneer wall will only break away from the structure to which it is attached.
3. To transfer lateral loads betwixt the veneer wall and its supporting construction.

Also the flat corrugated metal wall tie shown here, the two most-common other unit ties used in masonry structure were a rectangular tie and a "Z" shaped necktie shown beneath.

Corrugated ties are typically used in low-ascension, residential veneer over wood frame construction and are not recommended for construction incorporating brick veneer over steel studs, masonry-backed cavity walls, multi-wythe walls or grouted masonry walls.  (BIA 2003)

Repair of Brick Veneer Walls

Brick veneer walls that are not so loose, damaged, dangerous as to prohibit repair, can be secured to the structure using a variety of wall ties described here.

The brick veneer wall shown in our photos (below) was rebuilt afterward a partial collapse. Yous can see some of the original veneer bricks on the ground.

• Add fasteners for a brick veneer wall that is loose: Other loose brick veneer walls that are not bulged or badly damaged but are poorly supported on the building structure can sometimes be repaired using special fasteners (e.thou. Fero Engineered Masonry Connectors cited beneath) that mount through mortar joints and connect to the edifice structure backside.
• Brick veneer wall drainage repairs: a brick veneer wall that is not draining properly may be repairable by calculation drainage openings or clearing blocked bleed openings.

  Encounter BRICK WALL DRAINAGE Weep HOLES

• Re-construction of all or office of the brick veneer wall: a brick veneer wall that is extensively damaged, bulged, loose and collapsing will probably need to be removed and rebuilt.

  Excerpt:

  The use of metallic ties in brick masonry dates back to loadbearing masonry walls in the 1850's. Historically, the size, spacing and type of ties accept been entirely empirical. Over time, ties of various sizes, configurations and adaptability take been adult for loadbearing masonry, crenel walls and brick veneer structure.

  These ties are used to connect multiple wythes of masonry, oftentimes of different materials; anchor masonry veneer to bankroll systems other than masonry; and connect composite masonry walls. This Technical Notes addresses the selection, specification and installation of wall tie systems for use in brick masonry structure. Data and recommendations are included which address tie configuration, detailing, specifications, structural performance and corrosion resistance.

  This is a presentation is described by its introduction:

  This glossary is intended to be used just as an educational tool by those interested in visual inspections of facade conditions. The glossary does not include any guide equally to the affect of the various listed conditions on the public safe or buildings' structural stability. Lookout out: [Emphasis ours - Ed.] Such determination needs to be the outcome of the qualified inspector's professional consideration based on a specific examination of the façade where all visual symptoms are assessed based on their location, prevalence and in their human relationship to the façade system.

  Such determination shall comply with all New York City Construction Code requirements and prescriptions. The visual symptoms listed in the Glossary refer to types of facades mutual in New York Metropolis high and mid rising buildings. The glossary is past no ways exhaustive, simply hopefully it describes about of the typical façade problems encountered in New York City.

  Equally this manual refers to façade conditions only, the covering atmospheric condition are non included, simply one should note that their touch on on the proper operation of the facade can exist significant.

  Following a visual inspection, the evaluation of a façade's status should take into account all of the visual distress symptoms, together with consideration of other building components every bit well equally with the edifice'southward structural, thermal insulation and HVAC systems and fire protection systems. In many cases the source of a façade defect cannot be established without probing.

  While the glossary assembly causes to symptoms, the reader needs to exist enlightened that many other causes, or a combination thereof, can produce the types of distress presented. It remains the responsibility of the professional performing the inspection to provide the proper diagnosis. This glossary is the result of discussions with an ad-hoc round table of façade inspection professionals who contributed with some of the text, pictures and reviews.

What the FEMA document (below) does non detail is how long these improperly-synthetic brick veneer walls stood before the veneer plummet and what exact loading conditions precipitated the collapse: presumably wind loading, wind-blown rain, or other stresses that occurred either over time or every bit a single result. The document describes the wall ties at a business firm nether construction in Ocean Springs Mississippi observed after Hurricane Katrina.

Important was the FEMA inspectors' observation that the wall included only nine masoanry ties (the blue dots) while to comply with required standards 42 such ties (the + marks) would have been required. |

  Excerpt: Brick Veneer.

  The electric current masonry code referenced in the IBC and IRC is ACI 530-08/ASCE 5- 08/TMS 402-08, 2008 Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures. This code provides both prescriptive and performance-based requirements. Brick-veneer construction in residential applications tends to follow prescriptive requirements.

  Brick veneer is addressed by the IRC with prescriptive minimum requirements for sizing and spacing of masonry ties. In high-wind areas (where more than 30 pounds per square pes of pressure is applied to the brick), each tie is not permitted to support more than 2 foursquare feet of wall area.

  The ICC-600 provides design requirements that vary with blueprint wind speed. At greater speeds, ties are required to be designated as a percentage of the tributary surface area that would be used at lower wind speeds. Figures 9-10 and 9-11 illustrate how brick veneers failed during Hurricane Katrina, due to improper design and construction of the wall covering.

  Appendix E of FEMA Hurricane Katrina Recovery Informational (Zipper of Brick Veneer in High-Wind Regions) provides recommended practices for brick-veneer zipper. This advisory was based upon observations from hurricanes Ivan and Katrina.
