Lunch and Learn

Attendees will receive information about how to properly detail Cast Stone for a variety of project types. Building movement and dead loads as a function of the design requirements for veneers are discussed. The proper use of anchors, types of mortar, sealant joints and kerfs on exterior veneer applications are also addressed in this informative session. Attendees will be able to understand appropriate specification of Cast Stone for architectural applications.

This course will review the importance of acoustics in architecture, discuss the fundamental principles of sound management, explore how to design interior spaces to maximize occupants’ comfort, and review emerging tools to solve for both sound and lighting. It will also focus on the standards that govern acoustic requirements for diverse applications.

This program will explore the history of blasts and progressive collapse failures. Presentation will cover basic blast design and understanding GSA, VA and DOD requirements for health and safety. Participants will understand designing structures for blast protection to preserve the health and wellness of the buildings occupants. Other topics of will include understanding progressive collapse failures, understanding collapse mitigation, performance of construction materials, and materials used in blast projects.

This program is focused on fireproofing your building for interior and exterior. Coatings and systems for every area of your facility are discussed to help you reduce downtime and comply with demanding environmental regulations.
