SUMMARY:Masonry Testing Review Sessions & Certifications
DESCRIPTION:The Masonry Society\, with the support of National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) and the Portland Cement Association (PCA)\, will be offering two intensive education review sessions\, followed by ACI Certification Examinations for Masonry Field Testing Technicians (MFTT) and Masonry Laboratory Testing Technicians (MLTT). \nThe Education Review Sessions are excellent ways for new technicians\, contractors\, producers\, and engineers to learn about masonry test procedures\, their basis\, and proper ways to sample and test masonry materials. They also serve as an excellent way for experienced testing technicians to prepare for the Certification Examinations. They will not however\, be effective in teaching someone relatively new to masonry to be immediately ready to take the ACI Certification Examinations. \nFor the review sessions\, instructors will cover typical tests for masonry units\, mortar\, grout\, and assemblies\, including ASTM C140\, C780\, C1019\, and C1314\, and other important procedures\, as well as those addressed by the ACI Certification Examinations. After the classroom portion of the Review Sessions\, a practical hands-on session will be offered so that attendees can observe\, and in some cases\, try their hands at specimen preparation and masonry testing. \nView more information \n\nMasonry Field Testing\nTuesday\, November 9 – Review Session  (approximately 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM)\nWednesday\, November 10 – Certification Examination  (approximately 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM) \nMasonry Laboratory Testing\nTuesday\, November 11 – Review Session  (approximately 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM)\nWednesday\, November 12- Certification Examination  (approximately 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM) \nLocation\nNational Concrete Masonry Association\n13750 Sunrise Valley Drive\nHerndon\, VA 20171 \n\nPresented by The Masonry Society\, with the support of:\n  \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n

SUMMARY:Existing Masonry Night School: Transitional Structures #3 - Planning and Conducting a Transitional Masonry Building Investigation
DESCRIPTION:During Existing Masonry Night School: Assessment\, Maintenance\, and Repair of Transitional Masonry Structures\, instructors will discuss the most common issues in assessing\, maintaining\, and where needed\, repairing masonry cladding systems constructed in North America between the 1880 and 1945. \nThis session will focus on the important aspects of developing an investigation program for a transitional masonry building\, including information to gather\, areas for inspection\, ongoing monitoring\, the potential for investigative openings and laboratory testing to inform potential structural analyses to consider. Examples of different deterioration mechanisms and manifestations will be highlighted. \n\nView the Recording of this webinar \n\nAbout the Presenter\n \nPeter M. Babaian\, P.E.\, S.E.\, is a Principal and Building Technology Division Head for the Chicago office of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger. He specializes in the design\, investigation\, and rehabilitation of building enclosure systems on existing and new buildings. Mr. Babaian has completed numerous assessments\, investigations\, and repairs of existing structures\, with a focus on historic masonry structures. His historic masonry project types range from single family homes to museums to churches to bridges to iconic university buildings. Mr. Babaian has expertise with stone and brick masonry systems\, clay tile\, slate\, and copper roofing systems\, and archaic structural systems. Mr. Babaian is the Secretary/Treasurer of The Masonry Society\, serves on its Executive Committee\, Board of Directors and its Existing Masonry Committee\, and is a member of the Landmarks Illinois Board of Directors.
