Aug 18, 2023 #2 JAE Structural Jun 27, 2000 15,545 Standard single wythe brick (3 5/8 in thick) is 35 psf. I typically use 40 psf for new design. For a 3-wythe wall I’d use 3 x 40 = 120 psf. Upvote 0 Downvote

Aug 18, 2023 Thread starter #3 ntattose Structural Apr 13, 2011 44 I use 40 psf for hollow brick veneer. These old 3 wythe walls are solid brick with 2 layers of mortar. I'm afraid this weighs more, but I'm not sure. Upvote 0 Downvote
