Seminar duration: approximately 45 minutes plus 15 minute Q&A
Covers the design and installation of movement joints within masonry (clay brickwork, aerated and aggregate block) whilst ensuring compliance with the appropriate Regulations. Our Movement in Masonry is fully RIBA approved.
Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of:
- When clay brick was introduced to the UK and how its use has changed through the ages.
- The factors which cause movement in masonry, whether that be the properties of the material itself, or the forces that act upon it.
- The raw materials and manufacturing techniques of the different masonry units that give them their unique properties and influence your design decisions.
- The recommended frequency of vertical and horizontal movement joints in masonry.
- Design considerations that affect the recommended frequency and position of movement joints within a masonry structure.
Best practice when designing and installing movement joints.
