MISL Course 11-0925 – Enhancing the Role of Reinforced Hollow Clay Masonry

Course Overview

Resiliency is a popular buzzword, but what does it mean and how does it relate to the built environment? Join Steven Judd for the answers to these questions and more. Steven will discuss resiliency as it relates to society and architecture. The history and process of brick making will be shown to understand its physical properties and how those properties relate to resilient performance. Steven shares how testing performed on hollow structural clay masonry demonstrates structural brick’s durability and resistance to fire, projectiles, and ballistics.

Learning Objectives:

1. Define resiliency and discuss how it relates to the built environment, society and architecture. 2. Summarize the history and process of brick making to understand its physical properties and how it relates to resilient performance. 3. Examine how testing performed on hollow structural clay masonry demonstrates structural brick’s durability and resistance to fire. 4. Explore how testing performed on hollow structural clay masonry demonstrates structural brick’s durability and resistance to projectiles including ballistics.
