These installation procedures have been developed from the experience of building contractors nationwide who use our products. While these procedures are recommended guidelines that work best in general, there are other acceptable techniques that may work as well for specific situations. Due to continued research and development, information contained in this manual may be added, deleted or revised. It is the responsibility of the user to make sure that they are using the most current information. Reward's website will always contain the most current information. Reward Wall Systems has no control over the installation, choice of materials and applications used in the installation of our product; therefore, Reward assumes no responsibility or warranty expressed or implied beyond the physical characteristics of the Reward product. *Any material or product that is applied in contact with the expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam plastic material of the iForm must be compatible. Petroleum, solvent, ketones, and esters based products are not compatible and will deteriorate the foam. The details in this manual are generic and conceptual in nature. Reward Wall Systems, Inc. is not responsible for final design, construction and compatibility. iForm by Reward Wall Systems provides formwork for a solid continuous flat cast-in-place concrete wall. It is nominally 16" high, 48" long, and comes in the following widths: • 9" (228 mm) wide - 4" (102 mm) flat core • 11" (279 mm) wide - 6" (152 mm) flat core • 13" (330 mm) wide - 8" (203 mm) flat core • 15" (381 mm) wide - 10" (254 mm) flat core • 17" (432 mm) wide - 12" (305 mm) flat core The size and shape of the iForm may vary by up to 0.75% of their specifications. iForm provides very strong formwork for placing concrete due to uniquely designed plastic form ties that maximize the concrete flow in the forms. The iForm tie is 1 ¼" (32 mm) wide and 6" (152 mm) on center and recessed ½" (12.7 mm). This makes applying all interior and exterior finishes easier than on similar forms. Additionally, the iForm's furring strip allows the acrylic finishes (stucco) to be applied without the problems associated with exposed steel or plastic furring strips. It is important to note that if the forms or bundles of forms are to be stored outside for an extended period of time, EPS foam and plastic ties must be protected from UV degradation. ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE can be obtained by contacting your local independent distributor, dealer or builder or the Reward Wall Systems, Inc. Technical Service Department, 800-468-6344, located at 9931 South 136th Street, Suite 100, Omaha, NE 68138-3936. Updated: April 2011 2 Release: K The New Standard for Sustainability. Planning and Preparation Spending time planning and preparing in advance of all phases of the construction process will make for an efficient and successful project. To get started you should read and understand the plans, educate and provide information to the building official, estimate the materials, have the proper tools and materials available and provide the right size crew. Taking the time to execute right the first time will provide happy customers and higher profits for the project. Specific items to consider when pre-planning for the project include storage of form bundles, access for concrete pump and trucks; establishing concrete delivery lead times; concrete and steel reinforcement requirements; construction of rough opening door and window bucks; coordination of concrete anchor bolts and embeds; coordination and layout of penetration sleeves; tool and material accessibility; and keeping a clean and accessible work site. It is important to know and understand the local building code in your area. Building a relationship with the local building official and providing them with information before the project starts is another key to success. Reward has received building code compliance with all national model building codes and other local building codes as shown in the following evaluation reports. United States ICC Evaluation Service ESR-1552 (IRC, IBC, UBC, BOCA, SBC) State of Wisconsin 200715-I Florida Product Approval FL 1743- R2 City of Los Angeles RR25418 City of New York MEA-116-03 Miami-Dade 08-0805.19 Canada Canada CCMC 13107-R ASTM- C578, E119 & E84 The International Residential Code (IRC) has adopted insulating concrete form prescriptive design for basement walls in section R404.4 and for above grade walls in section R611. Similarly, the Portland Cement Association and HUD have available prescriptive design prepared by the National Association of Home Builders Research Center. This document, PCA EB118, is titled The Prescriptive Method for Insulating Concrete Forms in Residential Construction. The PCA also has a document titled “PCA100-2007, Prescriptive Design of Exterior Concrete Walls for One and Two Family Dwellings.” ACI 332, Code Requirements for Residential Concrete is an additional

  • The Art of Stone Masonry in the Rockbridge County Area (1700 to Present)
    The Art of Stone Masonry In the Rockbridge County Area (1700 to present) Steven Connett Archaeology 377 5/25/83 Dr. McDaniel The art of stone masonry in the Shenandoah valley seems to be somewhat of a mystery prior to the nineteenth century. However, as some of us have learned from the anthropology 101 course: The absence of artifacts (documents in this case) is just as important as the presence of artifacts. In order to make sure that the lack of information was not due to my possible incompetence in research, I spoke with a current day stone masoner named Alvis Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds relayed t o me that when he was trying to learn the skills of stone masonry he, too, had great difficulty in obtaining information and thus decided to teach himself this art through the process of trial and error. Although this information did not directly aid me in my research, Mr. Reynolds did provide me with a bit of information that allowed me to derive a hypothesis on why there is this unusual lack of information in this line of study. I will state my hypothesis in this paper, however, I will not be able to prove it or disprove it due to the deficiency in available information. Mr. Reynolds explained to me that in the eighteenth century there were nomadic stone masoners. These nomadic workers went from valley to valley in search of people who needed help with building their houses. Since these people did not know how to cut stone themselves (after all, stone cutting is not the type of thing that is innate to most people) they had no choice but to p~y these men for their services or go unsheltered.

    %:% : LIFE SIR WILLIAM E. LOGAN, It., LL.D., F.E.S., F.G-.S., &c. first director of the geological survey of canada. Chiefly Compiled feom his Letters, Journals and Reports. BERNARD J. HARRINGTON, B.A., Ph.D., PROFESSOR 01' MINING IN M'GILL UNIVERSITY ; LATE CHEMIST AND MINERALOGIST TO THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OP CANADA. WITH. STEEL PORTRAIT AND NUMEROUS WOODCUTS. EonBon SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON, SEARLE, & RIVINGTON, CROWN BUILDINGS, 188 FLEET STREET. 1883 6 PREFACE. rPHE task of preparing a biography of Sir William Logan was not a self-imposed one, and was only undertaken with feelings of great delicacy. There are those who knew him longer and more intimately, and who might have done far better justice to his memory. But the work having been entrusted to me, I have endeavoured to discharge it faithfully. My aim has not been to write a eulogium or yet a lengthy criti- cism of Sir William, but rather to bring together such of his own words as will recall him to the minds and hearts of old friends, or enable those who were not privileged with his acquaintance to form for them- selves an estimate of his character and work. Canadians cannot afford to forget the name of oije who laboured so long and so earnestly to promote the interests of this his native land, and if the following pages in any way serve to keep green the memory of Sir William Logan, their compiler will feel more than repaid. We have plenty of Canadians able and willing vi. PREFACE. to work for themselves, but too few who, like Logan, are willing to work for Canada.

  • Concrete Repair
    CONCRETE REPAIR CONCRETE REPAIR TERMINOLOGY Abrasion — Surface wear that causes progressive loss of material from a concrete surface. caused by rubbing and friction against the surface by machinery, Forklift traffic or dragging of materials across slab. Abrasive—any hard, strong substance, such as rocks, sand, water, or minerals, that will cut, scour, pit, erode, or polish another substance. Absorption—the process by which a liquid is drawn into and tends to fill permeable voids in a porous solid body; also, the increase in mass of a porous solid body resulting from the penetration of a liquid into its permeable voids. Acid Etching—application of acid to clean or alter a concrete surface; typically used only when no alternative means of surface preparation can be used. Acrylic Resin— acrylic. activator—a material that acts a catalyst. Created to provide both bonding powers and a hard layer of protection Additive—a substance added to another in relatively small amounts to impart or improve desirable properties or suppress undesirable properties; any material other than the basic components of a grout system. Adhesion—a state in which two surfaces are held together through interfacial effects that may consist of molecular forces, interlocking action, or both. Adhesive Failure— A bond separation between an adhesive and the material bonded to. ( See Cohesive failure ) Admixture—a material other than water, aggregates, hydraulic cement, or fiber reinforcement, added to concrete, mortar, or grout, during batching or mixing to enhance plastic or hardened material properties, or both. Accelerating—an admixture that (1) increases the rate of hydration of the hydraulic cement and thus shortens the time of setting, increases the rate of strength development, or both; (2) any substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction.

A guide to analysis discusses development, structure, and validation method; scope of the occupation; trends; and safety. To facilitate understanding the nature of the occupation, work performed is divided into these categories:(1) blocks, the largest divisions in the analysis that reflect distinct operations relevant to the occupation;(2) tasks, the distinct activities that in combination make up the logical and necessary steps the worker is required to perform to complete a specific assignment in a block; and (3) sub-tasks, the smallest divisions into which it is practical to subdivide any work activity and which, in combination, fully describe all duties constituting a task.
