The reason being is that there were not telltale indicators of "brick"
failure in my
projects, other issues were identified such as you also mentioned,
discontinuous or poorly anchored relieving angles, lack of expansion joints,

initial moisture expansion, poor/lacking flashings, lack of ties, etc.



So, Eric, does this mean that the shorthand one often sees in the papers --
that "the problem is that glazed brick traps water, so that's why we have to
reskin the building with porous brick" -- is not wholly correct?
