MAXIMIZING SUSTAINABLEMASONRY SOLUTIONSWednesday, September 29, 2010Speaker: Scott Conwell, IMIMasonry materials are known for their beautyand performance values that often yield immediate and measurable results toward sustainability. This seminar will identify the specific contributions that masonry makes in the area of Sustainable Sites, Energy &Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, IndoorEnvironmental Quality and Innovation & Design which can address up to 52 points inLEED v3 (also known as LEED 2009) certifiedprojects. The program will also address the new requirements in LEED v3 and how they differ from those in LEED v2.2.

Stewart, Code Doctor Bill Stewart, our resident “code doctor”, takes a look at the fire and smoke provisions of the2009 International Building Code. Diagnoses toinclude key code changes to exterior walls, firewalls, fire barriers, shafts, fire partitions, andsmoke barriers and partitions. The doctor willalso prescribe how the code changes relate tomasonry wall design. Patients will be referreddirectly to the code so if you have a copy of the 2009 IBC bring it with you!

DIRECT DESIGN HANDBOOK BY EXAMPLE Wednesday, January 26, 2011 Speaker: Jason Thompson, NCMA The Direct Design Handbook for MasonryStructures has now been published by TheMasonry Society. This tabular design method,based on the strength design procedures of TMS 402-08, streamlines the design, specifica-tion and detailing process for masonry struc-tures. Using the handbook, Jason Thompson will completely design a one story reinforcedconcrete masonry building during the seminar.

SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH RENOVATION Wednesday, March 30, 2011Speaker: Andrew Raimist, Raimist Design What could be more “sustainable” than a masonry building experiencing two or three different uses during its lifetime? Join AndrewRaimist for a survey of local projects whereeven utilitarian existing masonry buildingshave been turned into unique contemporaryspaces through the thoughtful use of space, structure, natural light and ventilation.

Very green indeed! The discussion will high-light how well current sustainability conceptsdid or did not work for each project.

STRUCTURAL MASONRY “20 QUESTIONS”Wednesday, September 22, 2010Speaker: John Harris, CASCOStructural engineers design masonry walls tocomply with the requirements of the buildingcode for life safety and “structural” service-ability. However, the design of single wytheconcrete masonry walls is influenced by many non-structural considerations such asmovement joints, thermal performance, costefficiency, constructability, etc. Join John Harris for a lively round of “20 Questions”exploring these important design considera-tions. Audience participation expected!
