The National Concrete Masonry Association and the Masonry Veneer Manufacturer’s Association published the 5th Edition of the Installation Guide and Detailing Options for Compliance with ASTM C1780 for Adhered Manufactured Stone Veneer (MSV). This guide provides information and guidance on design and construction of adhered MSV systems. The updated guide includes recommendations on applying MSV over continuous insulation, an enhanced section on choice of mortars for MSV systems, and provisions for installation of MSV using cement board as a substrate. The Installation Guide is available as a free download at http://ncma-br.org/pdfs/ masterlibrary/MVMA%20Installation%20Guide%20 5th%20Edition%201st%20Printing.pdf.
Simpson Strong-Tie said its new hinged roof connector makes it easier for modular builders to construct stick-frame roofs in the factory that will fold flat during shipping. The patent-pending MMHC connector features a hinge that rotates from open position to folded. It nails in place for easy installation. This connector has been tested and load rated in multiple directions. An offset nail pattern allows for installation on both sides of the roof rafter assembly. Simpson Strong-Tie also released its new Connectors & Fasteners for Modular Building catalog that includes connectors and fasteners that are ideally suited for factory-built structures.
Schöck North America launched an 88-page website, www.schock-na.com, on its line of Isokorb structural thermal break (STB) products, which are used in high- rise construction to thermally insulate concrete and steel structures that penetrate the building envelope. Four application sections on the website cover STBs for concrete and steel balconies, concrete slab edges, steel canopies and beams, and concrete parapets and steel rooftop connections. Each section compares applications with and without STBs in terms of energy savings and prevention of condensation, mold, and rust. Corresponding product pages detail 12 STB types categorized by concrete-to-concrete, concrete- to-steel, or steel-to-steel connection methods.
