This wall system illustrates an example of a mid to high-rise transitional, or hybrid masonry wall. This type of construction was common between 1890-1940 and varies widely as it was a part of the transition from mass masonry load-bearing wall construction to steel skeleton frame construction. In this example the steel structural system supports floor loads and is encased in concrete and a 12” multi-wythe hollow clay tile wall with brick veneer that encloses the building. The facing brick is utilized as a veneer, whereas the hollow clay tile is used as the backing and predominant wall infill. The mass of masonry deflects bulk water penetration but is understood to take on a percentage of moisture that is free to evaporate slowly from the mortar joints on either side of the wall over time.
