Manufactured stone veneer is an inspirational design element, born from innovative technology and creative solutions. Also known as MSV, manufactured stone veneer is lightweight, non-load bearing building material used as a decorative wall covering for exterior or interior surfaces in both residential and commercial construction. Manufactured stone veneer products are cast in molds taken from carefully selected natural stone, using a process that faithfully captures even the faintest detail. The use of molds allows the stone to have a unique aesthetic and panelized systems allow for quicker installation. Manufactured stone veneer products adhere to any structurally sound surface and require a simple installation process of lath, scratch coat, mortar, and grout. Each color and texture uses a blend of Portland cement, lightweight natural aggregates, and iron oxide pigments. Even on close examination, manufactured stone looks and feels like natural stone.

This presentation explores the principles and applications of helical masonry beaming, a reinforcement method that improves the stability and safety of masonry structures. It begins with an overview of common causes of masonry failures, such as bulging walls, cracking, and excessive moisture infiltration, while also summarizing common post-installed repair options. The discussion then shifts to supplemental horizontal joint reinforcing, highlighting its role in masonry retrofits and its various applications. A primary focus of the presentation is helical masonry beaming, a specialized form of horizontal joint reinforcing that allows masonry to span openings safely. This section covers where helical beaming is used, how it works, and proper installation techniques. Following the presentation, an in-person, hands-on training will typically be conducted, demonstrating the installation of both retrofit ties and helical beaming in a real-world setting.

This presentation will inspire designers and specifiers to utilizing concrete pavers as the best solution for innovative design. Too often spaces, such as plazas, sidewalks, entries, drop-offs, courtyards and commons, default to less creative options such as scored, poured-in-place concrete. With many important factors to consider when designing spaces, this presentation will illustrate the basic principles of design with photos from projects that have successfully demonstrated innovative concrete paver solutions. Many of these solutions implemented several concrete paver characteristics, such as style, shape, texture, color and pattern. These characteristics, as well as the technical and functional aspects of a segmental, concrete paving system, will be examined. By applying the advantages and flexibility of pavers into a selection process will translate into great design.
