SUMMARY
The designer, when developing details for sills and soffits, should keep in mind the function of the element being detailed, the esthetic value he wishes to achieve, the structural stability of the element, and the economics of construction. It is essential to provide details which allow the elements to perform their primary functions as well as possible. In order to do this, the designer must select the proper materials, locate them in the proper place, and provide sufficient information so that the element can be properly constructed. Several decisions and assumptions must be made by the designer because each project and each element on the project must be satisfactorily addressed.
This Technical Notes addresses the major considerations necessary to successfully detail sills and soffits of brick masonry. In some cases, other considerations may be necessary due to unusual or unique conditions. It is beyond the scope of this Technical Notes to address all conditions and combinations of conditions which may occur, therefore the designer or owner, or both, must make the final decision on the details, the materials selected and the construction procedures used. The recommendations made in this Technical Notes are merely that-recommendations. The final configuration of the detail must in the long run be based on the designer's application of some or all of the principles set forth here.
