We're talking about an important part of masonry wall construction because is one of the most important themes in architecture.
Backup wall
Noun
Is a wall system used for constructions.
Example: Backup Wall Systems is the ultimate backup wall system providing superior air, water, thermal and vapor protection in an all-in-one barrier component.
es: Muro aparente
Brick courses
Noun
A course is a layer of the same unit running horizontally in a wall. It can also be defined as a continuous row of any masonry unit such as bricks, concrete masonry units (CMU), stone, shingles, tiles, etc. Coursed masonry construction arranges units in regular courses.
Example: If a course is the horizontal arrangement, then a wythe is a continuous vertical section of masonry one unit in thickness.
es: Acomodo de ladrillos
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: Although the foregoing principles apply to concrete block buildings, there are two additional areas of concern with respect to timber buildings
es: Block de concreto.
Dovetail insert
Noun
Steel piece.
Example: Here's a dovetail masonry anchor that fits in a dovetail insert.
es: Insertos que encajan.
Gravity load
Noun
Gravity loads are body loads that simulate the force of gravity as it affects your model.
Example: [...] exceptionally rigid structure, supporting virtually all lateral loads (such as wind loads) and sharing the gravity load with the core columns.
es: Peso de gravedad.
Hanging off
Adjective
To be suspended from something.
Example: The ornaments hang off the chandelier.
es: Colgando
Horizontal mortar joints
Noun
In masonry, mortar joints are the spaces between bricks, concrete blocks, or glass blocks, that are filled with mortar or grout.
Example: Mortar joints bond bricks together allowing the brickwork to act as a structural element to carry both vertical and lateral loads.
es: Junta constructiva de concreto
Ladder-type systems
Noun
A steel piece in masonry system.
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.
es: Tipos de sistemas de escaleras.
Laterally
Adverb
Lateral means relating to the sides of something, or moving in a sideways direction.
Example: Attempts are made to scrape the surface epithelium of the upper oesophagus and pharynx by movements directed laterally and dorsally.

Relief Angle
Noun
The relief angle is the angle between a cutting tool and the workpiece it has just cut.
Example: Helix angle Side relief angle on uphill side
es: Ángulo de incidencia
Supports
Noun
Masonry support is typically a steel support structure for the brickwork façade of a building, fixed back to either cast in channel, concrete of the steel frame of the building (SSF). Masonry support is used to reduce the load of the façade and distribute it through into the structure.
Example: Ancon offers a wide range of channels and bolts in order to fix stainless steel masonry support, restraints and windposts to structural frames.
es: Soporte
Tie back to
Adjective
Something is supported by other one.
Example: They tie the brick back to the structure and support it laterally.
es: Sujetado

Wedge anchor
Noun
A wedge anchor is a type of specialty fastener used to attach objects to concrete or masonry structures
Example: The Tie Wire wedge anchor is designed primarily for suspended ceiling installation.
