Single wythe concrete block or. clay brick walls are the most common structural masonry walls: four. such single wythe wall systems are discussed below. Each type offers. different performance potential in terms of climatic factors, fire, thermal, sound and seismic resistance; and construction and maintenance costs.
They often are used as the structural core for veneered brick masonry, or are used alone for the walls of factories, garages and other industrial-style buildings where such appearance is acceptable or desirable. Such blocks often receive a stucco surface for decoration. The use of material such as bricks and stones can increase the thermal mass of a building and can protect the building from fire. 2  Most types of masonry typically will not require painting and so can provide a structure with reduced life-cycle costs. 3  Masonry is non-combustible product.
