Air Barrier Testing of Concrete Masonry Assemblies and the Effect of Surface Coatings on Air Permanence

Product Number: 41212-685-SG

Author: Nicholas Lang, Jason Thompson

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Model building codes and standards have begun adopting new energy efficiency requirements for building envelopes, including more quantifiable assessment of the air permeance characteristics of the materials and assemblies used in the building envelope. This research effort was initiated to understand and quantify the air leakage mechanisms of single wythe concrete masonry construction, which is commonly used in exterior building envelopes.

New SSPC Commercial Coating Committee

Product Number: 41212-717-SG

Author: Kenneth A. Trimber

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

On October 4, 2011, SSPC held the inaugural meeting of a new committee developed to address commercial coatings and flooring issues. The committee is called, “C3 Commercial Coating Committee (Architectural, Commercial, Institutional).” The committee agreed to address five topic areas: field cleaning and painting, paint materials, flooring, thin film air/vapor barriers on Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU), and commercial contractor certification. Key concerns in each of the topic areas were identified which resulted in the following scopes and work activities.

Rules of Removal: Chemical Paint Stripping and Historic Masonry

Product Number: 41214-839-SG

Author: Al Morris

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

In restoration cleaning of historic masonry, you usually know based on contaminants and building fabric what kind of cleaner will be effective on a dirty building. You’ll use one type of restoration cleaner for atmospheric staining, and another for biological soiling. You’ll have an idea, going in, what kind of restoration cleaner to at least try. Not having that kind of information, in my experience, is what makes paint removal from historic – or just old – masonry the most challenging branch of restoration cleaning.

SP21461-2020, Corrosion Evaluations of Masonry Clad Steel Frame Buildings (Pre-1950)

Product Number: SP21461-2020

ISBN: 1-57590-409-8

Publication Date: 2020

$109.00

When distress of a structure is evident, it is important to determine the nature of the degradation to select the best restoration strategy. This standard practice provides testing procedures and investigative techniques for the evaluation of masonry-clad steel frame buildings. The investigation and evaluation techniques described in this standard focus on degradation resulting from corrosion of the steel frame.

This standard provides the investigator, corrosion specialist, engineer, or owner a framework for evaluating the corrosion condition of a steel frame building beyond simple visual inspection and basic sounding techniques. Evaluation techniques that identify general and localized corrosion of masonry-clad steel frame buildings are provided.

This standard is intended for use by corrosion specialists, historic architects, structural engineers, and exterior building envelope consultants involved with evaluating corrosion of steel frame buildings and the subsequent effect on the masonry cladding. It also may be useful to owners of historic buildings whose service life may be affected by steel frame corrosion.

SSPC-Paint 46-2024, Elastomeric, Water Based, High-Build, Flat, Performance-Based Coating for Masonry and Concrete

Product Number: SSPC-Paint 46-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This standard sets requirements for three levels of performance for elastomeric exterior waterborne high-build coatings suitable for use on above-ground masonry or concrete substrates such as concrete masonry unit (CMU) block walls, precast or poured-in-place concrete, concrete tilt-up construction, stucco, and fiber cement siding. The performance levels are based on results of material testing for weathering and chemical resistance properties, and testing for physical properties, such as tensile elongation and water vapor permeance.

The Atlanta Hyatt Restoration: An unlimited range of color and texture for concrete utilizing masonry staining.

Product Number: 41208-419-SG

Author: Russell Gray

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

The Atlanta Hyatt boasts 1,260 guest rooms and just over 180,000 square feet of ballroom and exhibit space. Using the construction technology and trends of the time, the exterior surfaces of the hotel were constructed of exposed river rock aggregate consolidated concrete walls. This was a popular building material, but one that often left gaps of uneven areas where the river rocks were not evenly distributed.
