Description
Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona. This course includes the following components:
- recording of the live session
- a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions
- two surveys required to claim continuing education credit
Description
The vast inventory of existing buildings with exposed concrete framing will inevitably require repairs. For concrete-frame buildings where the exposed structure also serves as the building enclosure, deterioration can result in structural issues, fall hazards, and unsatisfactory building enclosure performance including water leakage and thermal bridging. This session will present information regarding deterioration and repair approaches from both structural and building enclosure performance perspectives. Topics discussed include concrete construction techniques over time, exterior condition assessment best practices, building enclosure performance requirements and energy codes, and considerations for preventative maintenance and repairs using both time-tested and novel approaches.

Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the function of reinforced concrete as a structural material and as an integral component of a high-performing building enclosure.
- Identify deterioration mechanisms in concrete-frame buildings and means to address deterioration, considering both building enclosure performance and structural requirements.
- Explain risks associated with deteriorating concrete structures and the potential consequences of deferred maintenance and repairs.
- Delineate best practices for exterior wall condition assessments and appropriate repair strategies to meet project-specific structural and building enclosure requirements.
- Describe the evolution of model energy codes and standards, associated thermal-bridging concerns, and potential thermal-bridging mitigation strategies associated with exterior concrete structural elements.
