Webinar On-Demand
Between changing weather conditions and heavy equipment back and forth down corridors, your project’s resiliency is dependent on specifying sound building materials.
This course addresses critical knowledge needed to understand the role expansion joint systems perform within your projects, as they relate to movement, life safety and environmental challenges within the exterior and interior of your building.
In addition, this course covers proper detailing of fire barriers to reduce an architect’s liability exposure.
