T-JUNCTIONS

We recommend creating a simple "butt" junction as shown below and use our ZEE" brackets to hold the butt together under concrete pressure. Click on the image to download the PDF file. We do not recommend the Nudura T-block as it performs poorly under concrete pressure.

ADVANTAGES OF THE ZEE BRACKET

The ZEE bracket has many advantages over the T-block as shown in the illustration below:

Compare the ZEE bracket to T-blocks

Nudura T-blocks

The 8" 10" and 12" Nudura T-blocks are inherently weak and must be reinforced as shown below. The image can be clicked to download the PDF file.

Bracing custom corners

Nudura supplies 90 and 45 degree corners. Custom angles are best braced with dimensional lumber and plywood as shown below. The image can be clicked to download the PDF file.

12" Offset Corners

12" offset corners are easily achieved with Nudura as shown in the drawing below. This method allows for the creation of marriage lines on each side of the offset. The image can be clicked to download the PDF file.

Changing Wall Widths at Corners

Nudura allows the wall width to be transitioned at the corner. A 2" fillet is removed from the one corner block and added to the next corner. The image can be clicked to download the PDF file.
