AH masonry must be reinforced and details typically used for reinforced masonry construction arc applicable to blast resistant design. 

Measures to reduce the impact of fire include active and passive systems. Active systems include automatic sprinkler, water deluge, water mist, gaseous agent, dry chemical, foam, and standpipe handle systems. Passive protection is provided by fire resistive construction, including spray-applied or cementitious fireproofing of steel, concrete/masonry construction, and water-filled steel columns. Chapter 7 provides details on the design of fire protection systems. 

Only noncombustible materials should be used in the construction of control room buildings. While walls of masonry construction offer greater protection from external fire exposure, control buildings can be of pre-engineered construction if fire or explosion exposure is minimal. When the possibility of damaging explosion overpressure exists, the entire building design must be carefully evaluated. 

Masony cements are hydraulic cements designed to have improved workability for use in mortar for masonry construction. The standards are given in... 

Polyurethane rigid foam is an excellent insulation material, particularly well suited for applications requiring high mechanical properties. In the form of laminated boards, they are applied on roofs, ventilated facades, ventilated double walls, masonry construction, single-wall masonry interior walls, floors and ceilings and for floor heating systems.

Material limitations not commonly known to the architectural practitioner, which will affect design are listed. Lack of knowledge of corrosion resistant masonry construction has resulted in costly mistakes. This approach will appear sophomoric but such errors have occurred with sufficient frequency to warrant inclusion. The information is covered more specifically and in greater detail in other chapters. While redundant, it is important that the less experienced be forewarned of these limitations. 

The several manufacturers of chemical resistant mortars and cements publish extensive charts listing their products and various corrosive agents. Such charts indicate the degree of resistance of the cements and mortars. These manufacturers also publish details of corrosion resistant masonry construction. The technical representatives can be of help, however, the degree of expertise of these representatives varies widely from excellent to order taker so they are suspect until proven otherwise. 

Pulp and Paper Industry Use of Corrosion Resistant Masonry Construction... 

Corrosion resistant masonry construction is extensively used in the pulp and paper industry to handle the wide variety of corrosive conditions present. Considerable experience with this type of construction has resulted in the development of materials and procedures which, when properly applied, results in equipment that satisfactorily performs for many years. Continued experience and the accumulation of information and data will undoubtedly lead to further performance improvements and the reduction in installation and operating costs. 

Each building code has a list of specific conditions and requirements for the use of foamed plastics. Typically, these cover trim, masonry construction, cold storage buildings, metal faced building units, roofing applications, doors and exterior sheating. 

Allguard. [E>ow Coming] Elastomeric waterproof coating for masonry, construction, stucco, stone. 

In the early 1960 s investigators developed sulfur coatings which could replace mortar in masonry construction (55). Bricks, concrete, cinder, or clay blocks are stacked one upon the other until the desired wall configuration is achieved. The sulfur coating is brushed or sprayed on both exterior surfaces. The sulfur does not need to penetrate between the blocks, and the need for mortar is eliminated. The coating dries almost immediately and forms a strong, hard, and insulative surface. 

Dry wall n. ( ) An interior wall, constructed with a dry-wall finish material such as gypsum board or plywood. (2) In masonry construction, a self-supporting rubble or ashlar (squared building stone) wall built without mortar.
