Presentation Details:
Summary: This course provides a general understanding of Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) construction, moisture prevention methods, what aesthetic options are available, and insulation strategies. The most recent changes to ASTM C-90 will be covered as well.
Learning Objectives:
• How to select and specify masonry colors so that the project as built meets the designer and owner's expectations.
• How to specify masonry sample panels on projects to serve both as a communication tool and as a standard to ensure that the project is built in compliance with the designer's aesthetic and quality requirements.
• How to specify integral water repellants in both block and mortar to resist moisture penetration.
• How to specify and detail various flashing and weep systems in masonry wall assemblies for moisture penetration resistance.
