Episode 4: TechTalk: BrickBeauty - Stackbonding

TechTalk

Stackbonding - top considerations

21/12/2020


The stackbond laying pattern is a distinct use of masonry that emphasises the verticality of the masonry wall. This modest design choice has become increasingly popular as an architectural effect in veneer construction.


Although stackbonded masonry gives the illusion of simplicity, there are several technical requirements that must be addressed during design and construction.

In this episode, your host Elizabeth McIntyre will have an interesting conversation with Think Brick's senior structural engineer, Michael Koungras. They will discuss the requirements, benefits and critical things to consider when designing a stack bonded wall.


Listen to this episode to find out:

  • How to design stackbonded masonry to meet Australian construction guidelines.
  • Their classification as loadbearing and non-loadbearing walls
  • How to adequately account for continuous perpend joints.
  • Suitable construction materials
  • How to reinforce stackbonded masonry.
  • Failure mechanisms of stackbonded masonry
