SUMMARY:Existing Masonry Night School: Transitional Structures #2 - Masonry Systems
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 discuss the typical masonry exterior wall systems\, commonly referred to as transitional masonry wall systems and how to identify them. These wall systems combine aspects of both load-bearing masonry and modern curtain wall systems having structural frames. The unique features of such construction are examined along with how these systems work structurally\, how they deteriorate\, and how they manage water\, temperature\, air\, and vapor transmission. Knowing how these wall systems behave will assist in determining what repair methods and procedures to use. \n\nView the Recording of this webinar \n\nAbout the Presenters\nTom Elliott is the Director of Industry Development and Technical Services with the International Masonry Institute. He began his career in the masonry industry in 1984 as an apprentice bricklayer and has been a member of Bricklayers Local #5 Ohio ever since. He has worked as a foreman and field superintendent on larger unit masonry projects during his career in the field and has been the recipient of several craftsmanship awards for his work. As a project manager\, Mr. Elliott was involved in some high-profile masonry restoration projects in which he supervised the terra cotta repair and replacement on many historical buildings. For seven-years\, he and his wife operated a mid-sized mason contracting business which provided him insight on the business side of the trade. \nFor the International Masonry Institute\, Mr. Elliott coordinates activities in Ohio\, Michigan\, and Northern Kentucky\, promoting masonry to a wide variety of audiences including owners\, contractors\, architects\, engineers\, and craftworkers. Tom is actively involved in several organizations including the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI)\, The Masonry Society (TMS)\, and The International Masonry Training and Education Foundation (IMTEF) \n  \n \nBrian E. Trimble\, P.E.\, LEED AP\, CDT\, FASTM\, is the Director of Industry Development and Technical Services at the International Masonry Institute. He has over 30 years’ experience in the masonry industry\, assisting design professionals in the design of masonry structures. He is a frequent lecturer to local\, regional\, and national construction industry groups. He has authored many articles and papers on various masonry subjects. Mr. Trimble started his career with a brick manufacturer and worked at the Brick Industry Association for over 20 years serving in various positions. For the International Masonry Institute\, he coordinates activities in the Western PA and Western NY areas promoting masonry to a wide variety of audiences including owners\, contractor\, architects\, engineers\, and craftworkers. \nMr. Trimble is actively involved in many organizations including the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI)\, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)\, The Masonry Society (TMS)\, and the International Brick Collectors Association (IBCA). He is a Fellow of ASTM International.

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.

SUMMARY:Existing Masonry Night School: Transitional Structures #4 - Testing and Analysis
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. \nBuilding on concepts presented during prior sessions\, we will discuss approaches for obtaining information on material properties and how to use that information to understand structural capacity following applicable codes and guidelines. Several in situ methods are available for determining masonry mechanical properties including compression and shear strength. Laboratory tests are also used for determining material strength in addition to material characteristics such as mortar composition\, masonry pore structure\, and moisture content. The process of evaluating structural and nonstructural component compliance will be discussed in the context of guidelines and building codes\, concentrating on transitional masonry building typologies. \n\nView the Recording of this webinar \n\nAbout the Presenter\nMichael P. Schuller\, P.E. FTMS\, FAPT is president of Atkinson-Noland & Associates\, a consulting engineering firm specializing in evaluation and repair of existing structures. He has 30 years’ experience with masonry engineering including special expertise with nondestructive evaluation and repair procedures. He has over 100 publications on concrete and masonry including a new book titled “Assessment and Retrofit of Masonry Structures\,” and taught masonry structural design at the University of Colorado from 1999 through 2016. Mr. Schuller serves on the Board of Directors of The Rocky Mountain Masonry Institute and The Masonry Society and is a Fellow of both The Masonry Society and the Association for Preservation Technology.
