. Weep holes in building exterior masonry walls (brick or stone) are a drainage system that is used in cavity wall or rain-screen wall construction methods to get rid of water that has penetrated the outer wall skin or surface. InspectAPedia tolerates no conflicts of interest. We have no...
Weep holesof sizes 150 mm x 150 mm are to be left in the body of masonry walls if shown on the drawings. Weep holes, drain tile, and associated bedding and other materials shall be provided where determined by the design engineer (if necessary for permitting). ...
Weep holes are holes in the exterior walls of a structure which allow water to vent to the outside, ensuring that it cannot accumulate behind the walls. They also permit air circulation, which makes the area inside the walls hostile to molds which can damage structural elements of a building...

The appropriate detail for a masonry air vent and a masonry weep would look like Figure 3. The weep holes are at the lowest point of the masonry wall (and cavity) and are spaced 267 mm (10.5 in.) apart to improve the mathematical chances one of them will be at the lowest point...
This large structure is located on the rim of the canyon. The castle is made up of two D-shaped towers that sit on the edge of Little Ruin Canyon. It contains several rooms and a tower. The masonry work is impressive with stone walls made in two and three courses thick which offered ...
In this study, the effect of the weep hole and cut-off wall on the uplift pressure and the hydraulic gradient under a diversion dam was investigated experimentally and numerically. For this purpose, four weep holes (diameter = 1 cm) were embedded along the longitudinal axis of the stilling ...
