AI for Masonry Construction
AI applications for masonry design and construction.
Definition
AI for masonry construction helps with masonry design, estimation, and quality control. AI can verify masonry structural design, estimate quantities, and check compliance with masonry codes. This improves masonry construction quality and efficiency.
In Depth
Masonry construction — concrete block, brick, and stone — involves unique coordination requirements for reinforcement, grouting, movement joints, and moisture management. AI assists with the structural verification and the detailing coordination that masonry systems require.
Movement joint placement is critical for preventing cracking in masonry walls. AI evaluates the wall lengths, heights, and restraint conditions to determine the required movement joint spacing per TMS 402/602 and industry guidelines, and verifies that the drawings show joints at the required locations — including the commonly missed locations like at window jambs and at intersections with dissimilar materials.
