Thru-Wall Structural Brick

Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications
The document provides technical data for Belden Thru-Wall Units, focusing on R-values, STC ratings, fire ratings, and structural properties. The R-values for 6-inch and 8-inch Thru-Wall units are 0.95 and 1.10, respectively, calculated using the dual path procedure from BIA Technical Notes 4. STC ratings for hollow units are 41 and 50 decibels, while solid units are rated at 50 and 52 decibels. Both 6-inch and 8-inch units have a 2-hour fire rating, with equivalent thicknesses of 3.424 and 4.05 inches, respectively.

Wall Height Comparisons
The document compares the cost and productivity of Reinforced Brick Masonry (RBM) and Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) systems. A mason and tender can install approximately 350 CMU or 365 bricks in a day, with productivity differences attributed to unit size and weight.

Material Properties
Data on absorption, compressive strength, and efflorescence for various Thru-Wall materials are provided. For example, the average compressive strength for Thru-Wall Shale/Fireclay is 13,888 PSI, while Thru-Wall Fireclay is 17,665 PSI. The average percentage void for these materials is 46.8%.

Structural Data
The document includes tables for the moment of inertia and radius of gyration for 6-inch and 8-inch Monarch TTW units, both hollow and solid. The net compression strength of masonry (f´m) is also discussed, with values of 3000 PSI for grouted and 4000 PSI for ungrouted units.

Advantages of Thru-Wall Brick
Thru-Wall Brick offers design flexibility, reduced backup requirements, fewer tie connections, greater seismic resistance, and lower construction costs. They are available in 6 and 8-inch thicknesses with nominal face sizes of 4 x 16 and 8 x 16 inches.

Quality and Environmental Standards
The Belden Brick Company operates under an ISO 9001:2008 Registered Quality Management System and an ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System.

R VALUE 6 INCH THRU-WALL 8 INCH THRU-WALL Hollow ASTM C 652 R =. 95 Hollow ASTM C 652 R = 1.10 These two values are calculated using the dual path procedure outlined in Brick Industry Association (BIA) Technical Notes 4. (Path A was through the face shells and webs, Path B was through the face shells and cells. A weighted average was then determined for each path and added together.) Higher value may be obtained by calculating the walls’ U-Value, taking into account outside and inside air films. HOLLOW SOLID 6 INCH THRU-WALL 5-5/8 x 3-5/8 x 15-5/8” Unit Weight = 16 lbs.

In comparing 6” TTW brick and 8” half high CMU, in a days time, a mason and tender will install approximately 350 CMU. In that same time, 365 brick would be installed. Productivity differences are due to unit size and weight. Similar productivity differences by other size TTW...

Reinforced brick masonry is not a new wall system. Reinforcing steel and grout have been used with brick masonry for over 100 years. With brick masonry's high compressive strength, reinforcing makes for an economical, highstrength wall in comparison to other reinforced masonry systems. Thru-Wall Brick offer: o Greater design flexibility. Reduced backup requirements. Reduced number of tie connections, which provides a more continuous moisture barrier. Greater seismic resistance and more ductility. Less restrictive deflection requirements of the backup structure. Reduced cost of the backup system....
