The Brick Industry Association’s Technical Notes feature landscape design, detailing, and construction information with guidelines on the use of clay brick in exterior projects. “Full of detailed directions, standards and recommended practices, Technical Notes is an excellent resource for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge base,” said Dick Jennison, president and chief executive of BIA. The BIA Technical Notes program began in the 1960s and has grown to include nearly 100 documents. A complete review of all of the documents is currently underway, and BIA expects to publish several new Technical Notes for landscape architects and paving applications within the next several months. Each set of notes and guidelines has been thoroughly researched to ensure that it conforms to code-accepted practices and regulations. Information of principal interest to landscape architects includes subjects such as Brick in Landscape Architecture and Pedestrian Applications which describes brick paving systems used in landscape design and landscape architecture and the ways such systems relate to brick masonry. For more information on the Brick Industry Association, or to download Technical Notes free-of-charge, visit the BIA Web site at www.gobrick.com/pavers.
