Steel Framing with Masonry Walls—A Historical Perspective
Prior to the development of framed structures, the primary building system was loadbearing masonry. With the introduction of structural steel framing in the late 1800s, the logical tendency was to incorporate masonry into the building structures. This resulted in several types of construction starting with caged construction and progressing into transitional building construction. In 1940s, engineers and architects began using veneer construction with steel frames. In each construction type, the structural frame and the masonry interacted differently. This paper will explain the progression of the development of structural steel framing and the interaction of masonry walls. It will also describe how that progression was a necessary step leading to the creation of the new system of hybrid masonry and structural steel framing. Each hybrid type will be described.
