Admixture

Admixtures play a vital role in the appearance, consistency, durability and performance of concrete and other building materials. There are a myriad of products on the market to aid in coloring, water use, weight, strengthening, and more. One example is the MasterFiber line of products from BASF, which is designed to help prevent concrete cracking in paving and other projects. The MasterFiber series is offered in four levels of reinforcement:

  • Level 1: Control of plastic shrinkage cracking—MasterFiber microsynthetic monofilament fibers
  • Level 2: Replacement of light gauge welded-wire reinforcement—MasterFiber microsynthetic fibrillated fibers
  • Level 3: Post-crack control and replacement of traditional shrinkage and temperature reinforcement—MasterFiber macrosynthetic fibers
  • Level 4: Partial or complete replacement of structural steel reinforcing bars—MasterFiber macrosynthetic fibers.

Masonry has defined architecture for centuries, prized for its strength, durability, and timeless aesthetic appeal. From historic sites to modern designs, masonry buildings are durable and visually distinctive. However, exposure to moisture, freeze-thaw c

Rethinking Shelf Angle Design for High-Performance Masonry Walls
May 2026

If you've been around masonry construction long enough, you know the shelf angle is one of those details that’s easy to take for granted. It’s been used the same way for decades, set it at the slab edge, support the veneer, move on. But as building requir

When Schedules Tighten, Experience Shows

In construction, schedules rarely open up; they tighten. Weather delays, trade coordination, and last-minute scope changes all add pressure, even on jobs that were planned down to the minute. When that happens, experienced masons don’t start cutting corne

Shelf Angles and Their Impact on Wall Performance
May 2026

Shelf angles have long been a standard component in masonry construction. Installed at the slab edge, they provide support for brick veneer and are often treated as a routine detail. However, as building performance requirements evolve, particularly aroun
