Masonry: Masonry Ties Masonry: Masonry Ties - Full Transcription I'd like to look at brick ties or masonry ties in this short video. We have the CMU and then we looked earlier at a truss tie and a ladder tie that are in the bed joint of the

Masonry: Masonry Terminology Masonry: Masonry Terminology - Full Transcription In this video I will explore just some general terminology for masonry or rather brick construction. A typical standard common brick is two and a quarter inches by three and five eighths and eight inch dimension. So after you add the

Masonry: Efflorescence Masonry: Efflorescence - Full Transcription So efflorescence may be visible in concrete, in CMU, in masonry, in brick, in stone, in mortar. It's this white stuff that appears on brick, for example, and that can be washed or brushed with a steel wire brush. But it&

Masonry: Bond Beam Versus Lintel Masonry: Bond Beam Versus Lintel - Full Transcription In this video, I'd like to talk about the difference between a lintel block and a bond beam block. So a lintel block is clearly a lintel. It's over an opening versus a

General: Load Bearing Walls General: Load Bearing Walls - Full Transcription This video is a quick description of a load-bearing wall versus a non-load-bearing wall. It could be in masonry, in wood, in steel, in concrete. A load-bearing wall versus a non-load-bearing. So looking at these images here, in the

General: Lintels General: Lintels - Full Transcription Let's talk about lintels that are used to span an opening in a load-bearing wall. First of all, a header is the term that is used to span an opening in wood frame construction, and it's usually made of

General: Deflection General: Deflection - Full Transcription For a spanning member between two supports or continuous beam, when loaded perpendicular to their axis, what happens is the top goes into compression, the bottom goes into tension. That is a stress called a bending stress, and its outcome is a strain

General: Camber General: Camber - Full Transcription So the word camber is pretty much for steel members and pre-stressed, pre-tensioned concrete members. And it's basically an upward, a slightly upward curvature that is induced into the member so that when it's loaded with the anticipated loads,

General: Axial Loads General: Axial Loads - Full Transcription So axial loads are basically pure compression along the axis or pure tension along the axis without any bending moments, without any shear. So and of course there's no deflection because there's no span typically. So if
