What is Thin Brick Faced Architectural Precast
Thin brick faced precast is conventional Architectural Precast Concrete (APC), section 3450 with portions, or sometimes all, of the exposed to view face covered by a thin section, kiln fired clay masonry unit.
The result is a panel with natural masonry appearance usually accented by areas of smooth or textured architectural precast but with the benefits of APC.
Section 3450 (PCI MNL 117) APC producers are accustomed to the requirements of high end architectural finishes and uniquely qualified to produce this product

Design Flexibility, Considerations and Benefits
Incorporation of various sections and shapes into design Unlimited color selection and various textures; acid
etched, sandblasted, exposed aggregate Accommodate seismic and blast load design criteria Stacked or gravity loads to structure (Column and
Spandrel) impact on structure and connections Panel size considerations and Limitations Insulated panels possible
04/11/23 4
Project and Onsite Considerations
Use of APC shortens the onsite project schedule
Better jobsite efficiency through elimination of conventional masonry scaffolding and a reduction of onsite activity and trades
Less weather sensitive
Get under roof sooner, allowing follow up trades
What is the access for erection equipment and crane reaches

Green Building Considerations
Use of APC eliminates the jobsite waste generated by conventional masonry
Most APC producers will be located and obtain their raw materials (except the thin brick itself) within 500 miles of the jobsite
Energy cost of manufacturing thin brick is only 18% of the cost of full size brick
04/11/23 6
Applications Thin brick/APC can be utilized on any structure where a
masonry appearance is desired.
Panel sizes can be maximized to improve erection efficiency or elements can be reduced in size to accommodate a different architectural appearance.
The use of APC finish as an integral trim feature adds detail and variety with out added cost.

04/11/23 18
Design Considerations Overall building use and design complexity
Thin brick adds cost compared to a conventionally finished APC panel
Use of thin brick requires careful attention to coursing in detailing, production and erection
On site accommodation (“fudging”) that is available with conventional hand set masonry is not available in APC
Fabrication and erection tolerances must be recognized
04/11/23 19
Alignment Issues
Reveal details, brick coursing and panels themselves all need to align within tolerances
04/11/23 20
Which basic APC design will be used: Stacked or spandrel-column system
Building Appearance and function Higher end office or more one that is more functional in
nature
Stacked system What is the building story height and blast load requirements Requires lighter structure since no gravity loads Less design flexibility Produces the more typical appearance and shape. (Big
box/warehouse) Generally less expensive to erect and produce since more
repetitive and jobsite erection access is better.

Basic Structure
04/11/23 22
Three story Building
04/11/23 23
Spandrel and column design (non –stacked)
More flexible, allows for more shape and complexity
Greater story heights since panels aren't stacking Especially if blast load requirement
Usually includes smaller, lighter panels More panels to erect More panels per trailer= fewer loads and fewer trailers required onsite at a given
time Can use smaller crane (cost partially offsets more panels) Site access requirements usually less demanding than with larger panel stacked
system
Gravity loads transferred to columns or slabs, not to footings Precast connection design more demanding and expensive Better able to accommodate high performance blast (no progressive failure)

Connections for Gravity and Blast Load bearing haunch connection and blast load tie back in Spandrel and
Column format
04/11/23 26
Panel Sizing
Generally fewer panels= lower cost What is the jobsite access and crane availability Transportation concerns; size weight, costs Plant capacity to produce panel size and weights Typical panels not to exceed 12’ wide and 35’ tall x 8”
thick (42,000#) Wider panels possible but production and shipping costs
increase
04/11/23 27
Large Panels demand better jobsite access and coordination
04/11/23 28
The Manufacturing Process Color and Finish Selection
Match existing or new sample Color and finish Mock up or sample panel requirement options
Smaller 1’x1’ initial sample Followed by larger sample panel 3’x 3’ to site Onsite mock up with other trades Full size production review onsite or at plant
04/11/23 29
Shop Drawings Status of Contract Drawings Plans and Specs Design-Build
APC producer in lead Basic building frame and design from designers Coordination with design team Critical building dimensions must be agreed upon Coordination with other trades critical (structure,
windows)
