In my role as director of technical service with International Masonry Institute (IMI), I am often asked by Chicago architects “Do today’s plasterers have the same skills as those from 100 years ago?” My answer is always a reassuring and resounding “Yes.”
Hybrid Masonry Design
Hybrid masonry is a structural system that utilizes reinforced masonry walls with a framed structure. The masonry infill can be concrete masonry units, reinforced clay brick, or even reinforced ACC, and frames can be reinforced concrete or structural steel. New Structural engineering software has made it an attractive option for engineers today. [dt_vc_list dividers="false"] IMI [...] Stone Veneer Walls Laid in Mortar
