Retrofit Anchoring of Masonry: Applications of Horizontal Joint Reinforcing

Webinar Sponsored by PROSOCO

Some veteran contractors have not seen this novel method before! Learn all about helical beaming, a strategy to restore the structural integrity of buildings where the masonry has failed and has lost some, or all, of its load-bearing capabilities. PROSOCO’s Jeff Scarpelli will go over each scenario where helical beaming can work, as well as the physics and mechanics behind walls that have become unstable. He’ll cover each step involved in the helical beaming process and demonstrate how this technique can cut costs in half for wall remediation work over traditional methods.
