    This program is intended for any Owner, Architect, Engineer or Contractor who is assessing/purchasing/stabilizing/renovating an existing (especially an historic) building with masonry wall (including load-bearing/non-load-bearing/veneers) such as brick. stone or concrete masonry units. This program will specifically provide attendees with the fundamental skills necessary to understand how the following impact existing masonry structures:

    • Differing Architectural Approaches to Historical Restorations
    • Structural Functions of Masonry Walls
    • Building Code Evaluations of Existing Buildings
    • Investigation Techniques and Standards
    • Mortar Repointing and Crack Repair Techniques
    • Retrofit Veneer Anchor System
    • Lateral Restraint Anchors and Bracing Systems

    This program was presented on April, 12, 2013 at the University of Texas – Brownsville Campus. Speakers include Alan Pettingale, Andreas Stavridis, Benchmark Harris, Michael Schuller, and Gordon Shepperd. The recordings listed below can be purchased individually or together at a 25% discount. Parts 1 & 14 are available for free.


    All proceeds from sales of these recordings will go toward the Clayford T. Grimm, P.E. Student Scholarship.

    Sound Transmission Standard, 2nd Edition

    $30.00

    This Standard provides minimum requirements for rating masonry walls for a sound transmission class (STC) and outdoor-indoor transmission class (OITC) based on field or laboratory testing or based on a calculation procedure.

    The Standard is written as a legal document in mandatory language so that it may form a part of a legally adopted building code. The Commentary presents background details, committee considerations, and research data used to develop the Standard. Separate equations for clay and concrete masonry walls are used to reflect the varying properties of these materials related to sound transmission.
