Current trends in architecture include the desire to reintroduce traditional articulated detailing concepts in a modern way. However, details that once were relatively straightforward to construct in mass masonry walls do not translate directly to contemporary anchored veneer construction. This course discusses the various aesthetic, weatherproofing, and structural characteristics that can be incorporated into anchored brick veneer, the limits of the prescriptive methods presented in the Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (TMS 402), and general detailing concepts to adapt these types of details to meet the safety requirements for anchored brick veneer integrity and attachment to the structure.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Summarize the building code requirements for anchored brick veneer and the allowable limits for corbelling.
- Describe the structural material specifications for brick in these applications and how they differ from those for traditional anchored brick veneer.
- Determine design elements that require the use of the rational design provisions in the code.
- Identify various design and construction methods used to achieve elements that meet aesthetic, weatherproofing, and structural requirements of the anchored brick veneer.

Title: Managing Senior Engineer, The Brick Industry Association
Background: Cortney currently serves as Managing Senior Engineer in the Engineering & Research Department of the Brick Industry Association (BIA), where she develops technical documents, participates in codes and standards activities, and answers technical questions from architects, engineers, owners, and contractors. Prior to joining BIA, Cortney worked as a forensic consulting engineer investigating and repairing various types of architectural and structural problems in existing buildings, with a focus on masonry of all types, ranging from historic brick mass masonry to modern brick cavity and veneer wall construction. In addition to brick masonry, her projects involved materials such as structural clay tile, dimension stone, concrete, steel, and wood, typically occurring in combination with brick masonry.
