Masonry stabilization and repair is a highly sensitive service in the building industry. Modern anchoring, shoring, and bracing techniques require specialized design and skills to implement successfully. There are multiple systems and solutions available to the industry, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. It's important to understand the different systems and their desired impact to ensure they are working as designed and can be seamlessly integrated into the overall repair of the building. Learn from several case studies on the various systems used on different existing and historic structures that demonstrate the analysis and selection of each system type. Properly understanding these repair techniques is necessary to maintain and preserve historic structures and advance building preservation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify typical structural failures in existing masonry buildings.

  • Summarize the stabilization options available for existing buildings.

  • Compare appropriate repair and stabilization options depending on structural type and conditions.

  • Describe how different stabilization approaches fit into the 4 approaches described by the Interior Secretary’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
