Title
Standard Guide for Repointing (Tuckpointing) Historic Masonry
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 10, 2003
Scope:
This guide applies only to existing historic masonry construction. For
purposes of this guide
historic masonry is intended to refer to buildings that have
significant historic, architectural,
cultural or social meaning and are constructed of masonry materials.
Similar techniques and
evaluation should be employed for non-historic masonry, but are not
addressed in this guide.
This guide outlines procedures for repointing historic masonry and is
intended to provide
guidelines for the user to establish project-specific requirements for
repointing of historic
masonry.
This guide only pertains to masonry units: brick, terra cotta, stone,
cast stone, and concrete
brick laid in mortar, and may or may not be appropriate for other
masonry units.
This guide addresses repointing (tuckpointing) as defined in 3.1.3.
When considering repointing, especially on masonry of artistic,
architectural, cultural, or
historical significance, guidance from a specialist experienced in
historic masonry and repointing
should be sought.
This guide does not address pointing styles or profiles used on
masonry or the methods of producing
them.
Additional repairs that may impact the structural integrity of the
masonry may necessitate that a
structural stability analysis be completed prior to the execution of
any work.
Following this guide may involve hazardous materials, operations, and
equipment. This standard does
not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated
with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate
safety and health practices
and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to
use.
