Welcome to "Designing With Clay Brick for Various Environmental Conditions," a comprehensive online course tailored for architects, engineers, and construction professionals seeking to master the use of clay brick in modern building design. Clay brick is renowned for its timeless aesthetic, exceptional durability, and sustainable properties. However, designing with brick requires a deep understanding of its material properties, environmental interactions, and advanced detailing techniques. In this course, you will explore the fundamentals of clay brick, from its manufacturing process and lifecycle environmental impact to its acoustic and thermal insulation capabilities. We will delve into material selection, guiding you through the nuances of structural versus face brick, calculating coverage rates, and choosing the right colors, textures, and sizes for your specific project needs. You will also learn critical structural components, including mortar joint design, expansion joint spacing, and the application of standard versus helical wall ties. Moving beyond the basics, the course covers advanced architectural detailing, teaching you how to implement complex bond patterns like herringbone and basketweave, as well as intricate details such as soldier courses, quoins, and corbels. Furthermore, we will examine rainscreen installation details for effective moisture management and compare alternative brick types like clay pavers and thin brick systems. By the end of this course, you will possess the expertise to confidently specify and design with clay brick, ensuring structural integrity, energy efficiency, and stunning visual appeal across diverse environmental conditions.
