A brick veneer wall assembly must have a backup wall and so must a precast concrete curtain (PCC) wall. What is the difference between the two backup walls?
What will be an ideal response?
In a brick veneer assembly, the brick veneer transfers the lateral load to the backup, which in turn transfers it to the building's structural frame. Ties between veneer and backup are required in this transfer. In a PCC wall, the lateral load is transferred to the structural frame directly by the PCC wall. The backup in a PCC wall is only an interior finish item with no mechanical connection with the PCC wall.
