Advanced FBC: Masonry Code Changes & Best Practices
(2 Hour Advanced Course for PE & AIA)
This course is a review of the Masonry Codes and Best Practices Brought in by the 2017 6th Edition Florida Building Code.
Masonry design strengths have increased by more than 33%. Significant changes have occurred between the previous 2008 and 2011 TMS 402/602 masonry codes and the currently adopted 2016 TMS 402/602 code. This course informs the participant of the latest code changes and how to incorporate those changes in their specification. Currently adopted ASTM masonry standards and Masonry Best Practices will also be reviewed. Summarizing… Material specification, flashing/weep details, differential movement, vertical relief, mock-ups and sampling.

Reinforced Masonry vs. Hurricanes & Tornadoes
(1 Hour General Education/HSW for PE & AIA)
Today’s storms are more intense and more frequent, resulting in an increase of deaths and financial loss. Buildings and structures with resilient design and materials are not only better able to withstand and recover following disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes, products such as concrete and masonry are durable, environmentally friendly and use less embodied energy.
