9.20.8.5. Projection of Masonry Veneer Beyond Supporting Members
This Article limits the distance that masonry #veneer of solid masonry units can project beyond its bearing support. #Masonry veneer that projects too far beyond its support will be unstable, and structural collapse may result.
Masonry veneer must not project more than one third of its thickness beyond the support (Figure 9.20.-8). For rough stone veneer, the average projection of the units and the average thickness of the veneer are used to establish the maximum #projection.
