Day 3 of the Mastering Masonry Series: Retrofit and Repair of Existing Masonry Walls

Existing masonry structures can be intimidating, especially when the properties are unknown or the conditions include distress. Often, structural engineers are faced with an apparent (and uncomfortable) choice of trusting questionable masonry conditions or abandoning the existing structure altogether. However, there is often a better path to restoring or even strengthening existing masonry in ways that are both efficient and effective. This webinar will introduce various repair methods and considerations for existing masonry, some of which might even seem impossible! We will discuss advances in materials and methods that allow engineers to design repairs that work with existing masonry to produce great solutions without unsightly scars or excessive band aids.

Speaker:

Donald Harvey, P.E., is Vice President at Atkinson-Noland & Associates in Boulder, CO, a consulting engineering firm specializing in the evaluation and repair of masonry and historic structures. He has authored several papers relating to the nondestructive evaluation of structures, masonry material testing, and evaluation methods for existing buildings, and he serves on several ASTM committees related to masonry. Mr. Harvey recently served on the Board of Directors of the Structural Engineers Association of Colorado (SEAC), teaches the Masonry Design class in the Engineering School at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and serves as a technical advisor to the Rocky Mountain Masonry Institute (RMMI) and the Nebraska Masonry Alliance (NMA).
