### Continuing Education Session Summary:

**1. Masonry Design Review:** This session reviews the physical properties and specification considerations for clay and concrete  
masonry. Participants will examine masonry unit classifications, key wall components, current rainscreen assemblies, and the effect of unit size on installed wall cost.

**2. Clay and Concrete Masonry Plant Tour: “How it’s Made”:** Follow clay and concrete masonry from raw material selection to finished product through a technical tour of both manufacturing processes. The session highlights material preparation, forming, curing or firing, in-process inspection, testing, classification, packaging, and quality control.

**3. Thin Brick in Today's Construction Environment: **This course examines clay and shale thin brick used in modular panel systems, field-applied thin-set and thick-set assemblies, and precast concrete panels. It also covers form-liner selection, system detailing, and the ASTM and PCI requirements that support appropriate product selection and use.

**4. Masonry Aesthetics: Colour, Texture & Appearance:** Explore how manufacturing, raw materials, surface treatments, blending, and installation affect the final colour and texture of clay and concrete masonry. Participants will compare surface-applied and through-body colour, review common causes of appearance concerns, and discuss practical ways to communicate design intent and set expectations.

**5. Masonry Coursing:** Successful coursing begins early in the design process and extends beyond the masonry itself. This session reviews common clay and concrete masonry sizes, Canadian and American dimensional conventions, and the coordination of colours, textures, patterns, openings, and adjacent materials. Examples of effective and problematic horizontal and vertical coursing are examined, along with the role of coursing charts and jobsite mock-ups.

**6. Concrete Block Construction:** This session reviews the construction of standard- and lightweight-concrete block walls. Individual components are examined in detail, including how they work together within a complete wall assembly and how concrete masonry interfaces with precast concrete. Typical wall sections, rainscreen design, and the coordination of continuous insulation are also discussed.
