the wall which forms part of the main structure in which the mansonry is attached.
Example: It fits in the horizontal masonry joint and ties the brick veneer to the backup wall or structure.
fr: pared de respaldo
brick courses
noun
A 'course' is a measurement referring to the dimensions of the brick AND mortar when they have been sandwiched together. One brick and the mortar together is equal to one 'course'.
Example: It's called a relief angle because it relieves the the weight from the brick courses below and transfers it to the structure.
fr: cursos de ladrillo
concrete block
noun
A concrete block is primarily used as a building material in the construction of walls. It is sometimes called a concrete masonry unit (CMU).
Example: If the backup wall is concrete block, there are ladder-type systems that fit in the concrete block mortar joints. Wire anchors are then attached to the ladder system.
fr: bloque de concreto
dovetail insert
noun
a joint made by inserting tenon on one piece into mortise holes in the other
Example: Here's a dovetail masonry anchor that fits in a dovetail insert. It fits in the horizontal masonry joint and ties the brick veneer to the backup wall or structure.
fr: inserto de unión
gravity load
noun
Gravity loads are body loads that simulate the force of gravity as it affects your model. When you define a gravity load, you specify the components of gravitational acceleration along one of the coordinate directions. A negative value opposes the coordinate direction.
Example: floor slab is designed to support the imposed gravity load.
fr: carga de gravedad
hanging off
verb
to let go, to hold off
Example: A construction crane hangs off of the side of One57 November 3, 2012 in New York City.

fr: juntas de mortero horizontales
ladder-type systems
noun
a type of wire in the forms of a ladderr that fits in the joints that come off the wall for attaching the mansonry

fr: lazos de albañilería
multi-story
adjetive
of a building. : having more than two stories a multistory apartment building.
Example: As mentioned above, relief angles (shelf angles), support the gravity load or weight of the brick on multi-story buildings.
fr: de varios pisos
relief angle
noun
The relief angle is the angle between a cutting tool and the workpiece it has just cut. The relief angle on a machine tool is the angle that the edge of the tool nearest the workpiece makes with the workpiece.
Example: The relief angle (shelf angle) supports the weight of the brick veneer at each floor.
fr: ángulo de alivio
supports
verb

Example: It's called a relief angle because it relieves the the weight from the brick courses below and transfers it to the structure.
fr: transferencias
wedge anchor
noun
Is a generic term for a type of anchor used to fasten a variety of materials to concrete. Some companies have different brand names for their wedge anchors such as Kwik Bolt, Power Stud, and Thunderstud.
