Special Inspection of Structural Masonry Series
These sessions discuss special inspection duties, masonry materials, construction, and protection items to be observed and verified by special inspections. Additional topics of interest including testing, introduction to code requirements, and more are also reviewed.
Viewers will learn about structural masonry code inspection requirements, proper placement of materials, mortar and grout composition, how to determine the compressive strength of masonry, and appropriate severe weather procedures. This comprehensive series is aimed at helping inspectors, testing technicians, engineers, and building officials identify and verify key quality assurance items on the job site.
These presentations are targeted toward inspectors and field testing technicians but mason contractors, materials suppliers, building code officials, engineers, architects, and laboratory personnel will also find them informative
This series provides excellent preparation for the ICC Structural Masonry Special Inspection Examination. Anyone who is, or plans to become, a Structural Masonry Special Inspection will find this series helpful, as will those otherwise involved with special inspection and testing of masonry.
Viewers are encouraged to have access to the IBC, TMS 402/602-16, the Reinforced Concrete Masonry Construction Inspector’s Handbook, and ASTM Standards to maximize their learning, especially if planning to take the ICC Structural Masonry Special Inspection examination.
