Course Title: Masonry Codes and Standards Update 2012 (1 hour) – NY0854 - 1 PDH NY

Speaker: Keith Lashway, PE, International Masonry Institute

Attendees will learn about the new changes to the Masonry Codes and Standards (MSJC) and how they relate to each other; gain a better understanding of select ASTM masonry standards; receive updates on MSJC Code requirements; and get a sneak peek at upcoming 2013 MSJC activities.
There will also be a review of theCodes development processes, select ASTM Masonry Standards, Masonry Codes and changes thereto, and finally a review of upcoming future changes to masonry standards and guidelines.

Transferring the intent of the building code into practice is a primary goal in the design and construction ofallmasonry projects. Making that happen can at times be challenging. In this session, code requirements are examined from determination through specification to installation. Tips on how the design professional can effectively communicate requirements through the specification process are offered.
Course Title: Injectable Barrier Foundation Wall Systems - 1 PDH NY - PS 201 401 40

Speaker: Tony Alfano, Uretech Corp.

The Learning Objectives for the session:

An overview of unique solutions for integrating injectable barrier wall system for use in subsurface curtain walls, retention walls, and grout barriers. A rigid polymer grout provides a structurally solid solution that can be implemented in an expedient, post construction manner. Overview of the Deep Injection Process which gives the ability to pump grout along multiple injection points under a structure in order to solidify and implement a congruitous curtain for retention or solidification under the surface. The injected polymer grout is designed to expand by 15 times in order to fill ground voids and integrate with the existing soil medias, developing into a rigid structure for solidification. Utilizing the grout technique can help solidify and seal structures which may be experiencing structural integrity issues. The polymer grout can be injected and delivered from a variety of surface points, both horizontally and vertically, providing flexible implementation for a variety of structure types.

This course will review the technical specifications of chemical grout
and its application on soil stabilization. The course will discuss the chemical reaction and
the effect on temperature and pressure as it applied to various soil conditions. The
chemical injection effectiveness and limitations will be discussed at various depths from
3 feet to 50 feet below grade. We will discuss our solution for the following applications:

 sub-terrain void fill and high rise underpinning.
 seawall, bulkhead, ground water and injectable barrier containment.
 culvert, spillway, and sewer and dam repair.
 soil stabilization for bridge approaches and rail ballast.
 slab lifting.

Samples of chemically treated soil will be handed out to show its inert effect on the
environment as well as its strength/weight ratio.

We will review case studies on chemical grouting applications using national
infrastructure, commercial, and residential cases. Technical calculations, timelines,
safety, logistics and cost savings will be analyzed for each case study to check for
feasibility. The course will conclude with a Q&A session for comparisons to current and
historical projects for the attendees.
