TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 01/10/81Description: 21p 4 refsReport number: JCUQ-CTS-TR-9Subject: The integrity and performance of masonry construction is somewhat dependent upon satisfactory foundations. The footings should be designed to suit the soil conditions and should be constructed to the same degree of care as any other structural member. The methods of providing wall reinforcing for both concrete masonry and calcium silicate brick construction are discussed in this paper and recommendations are made regarding the size and spacing of such reinforcement. Methods of constructing bond beams and lintels for window openings are outlined, and the need for proper damp-proofing is emphasized. An example of some current construction is given. The paper concludes by recommending three features that if properly implemented would lead to safer construction to resist high wind forces .550.
