Helical Masonry Beaming, Tech Talk with PROSOCO


About This Program

This presentation details new strategies for restoring the structural integrity of a building where the masonry has failed and has lost some, or all, of its load bearing capabilities. It covers the scenarios in which helical beaming is appropriate, the physics and mechanics behind walls that have become unstable, and the steps involved in the helical beaming process.

Session Takeaways

  • Gain an understanding when helical beaming is an appropriate restoration strategy
  • Discuss why helical beaming can be safer than traditional methods
  • Review the physics of how a wall remains stable above a rough opening
  • Learn the steps involved in the helical beaming process
