This lead to a reduced carbon footprint from the manufacturing process and from transport of the product. Being 25 to 30% lighter than traditional masonry products, Litec masonry products increase productivity, reduces design dead loads and reduces handling issues. Pallets contain more square metres reducing material handling movements and storage requirements. All Litec masonry products have improved fire resistance and a durability grade of Exposure as per AS per m 2 Litec 0 Standard Series (f uc = ) -/0/0 FRL L01.2 Hollow 3 x x L02.2 3/4 Length Hollow 2 x x L03.2 1/2 Length Hollow x x

7 Technical Information Standards All Adbri Masonry concrete blockwork is manufactured to AS/NZS Masonry s and Segmental Pavers and tested to AS/NZS Masonry s and Segmental Pavers/: Methods of Test. For more information on design and construction refer CMAA document MA55. Fire Resistance AS Masonry Structures sets out the method for determining fire resistance of walls based on test data. It is recommended that designers calculate or check the structural adequacy, integrity and insulation for each wall configuration to ensure conformance to the Building of Australia (BCA). Adbri Masonry have an extensive range of bricks and blocks meeting the requirements of the BCA. Refer to the Adbri Masonry Fire & Sound brochure for more information. Acoustics The statutory requirements for sound attenuation are set out in Section F5 of the BCA. The new BCA deemed-to-satisfy provisions increase the levels of airborne sound insulation and apply to wall/floor systems tested in the laboratory. These figures are Rw + Ctr not less than 50. Adbri Masonry have a number of high performance wall systems which have been developed to accommodate the new stringent requirements imposed by the BCA, to satisfy all acoustic needs. Refer to the Adbri Masonry Fire and Sound brochure for more information. Control Joints Control joints must be incorporated in masonry as necessary to control and limit the movements referred to in AS3700 clause Control joints should extend the full height of the wall and be spaced 8m centre for concrete units and at 6m centre for light units where walls are not interrupted by full height doorways or window openings. General Guidelines All concrete blockwork should be laid dry, so covering on site is recommended. Whenever work is stopped, the tops of walls should be covered to prevent moisture entering the cores of the blocks and/or cavity. All mortar joints should be allowed to set to thumb print hardness before tooling. Brush away excess mortar with a semi stiff brush at the end of each days work. Cleaning Care should be taken to keep bricks and blocks as clean as possible during laying. There are various methods of general cleaning from dry brushing, water washing as well as using chemicals. For a complete listing refer to the CMAA MA41. When using a weak acid mixture it is recommended for cleaning down at no stronger than 1 part acid to 20 parts water. Walls should be wet thoroughly before application and washed thoroughly with water after application. High water pressure is not recommended. Note: Always trial solution in a small area which is not highly visible.
