Book excerpt: This study analyzes a wall system consisting of a brick veneer wythe connected to a steel-framed backup wall by several rows of brick ties. Maximum external and internal wind/pressures which are caused by wind gusts have been determined. The maximum pressures in the cavity (between the brick veneer wythe and the backup wall) are determined as a function of the external and internal pressures and the degree of air leakage through the brick wythe and the backup wall. The effect of several parameters on bending moments in the brick wythe and the backup wall, on the brick tie loads, on wall's end reactions and the deflections, was investigated. The parameters included wall stiffness, height of the walls, various pressure combinations, spring constants of brick ties, solar effect, etc. Whenever possible, the effect of several parameters were combined in parameter grouping equations, which were then used to....
