SUMMARY:Mortar\, Grout\, and Field Testing
DESCRIPTION:Mortar and grout are integral components of reinforced masonry construction\, yet there are common misconceptions about how these materials function and what materials are best to specify. Attend this special webinar to learn about building code and ASTM requirements\, what you need to specify for quality assurance in the field\, and how to choose the best mortar and grout formulations for your project. We will explain when Type S mortar is preferred over Type N\, learn how to specify grout strength\, and how important it is to provide a “workable” mortar that is easiest for the mason to use. The webinar will end with a recap of field testing requirements and some things to watch for as mortar and grout are sampled at the jobsite for testing. \nLearning Objectives \n1. Specify when to use Type N and Type S mortar on projects. \n2. List the qualities that make masonry mortar “workable.” \n3. Determine required grout compressive strength. \n4. Design quality control requirements for mortar and grout \nLocation: Zoom \nJoin here.
