Description

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
