The dead load support for brick veneer in a multistory building is typically provided through galvanized steel shelf angles at every elevated floor. The code permits the first 30 ft height of the veneer to be supported on wall foundation. Can the first one or two shelf angles below 30 ft height be eliminated? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
Yes, the first one or two shelf angles may be eliminated. However, this results in the design of the spandrel beam without the shelf angle to be different from those that support the shelf angle, not considered desirable for practical reasons.
