Also identifies and describes how to apply shakes, protective sealants and coatings, and self-leveling toppings and underlayments.
Module ID 23212: Presents the many possible components of concrete, including the desirable properties of the chosen aggregate and water. Includes a review of chemical and mineral admixtures, fibers, and special types of concrete. Also covers the basics of concrete testing.
Module ID 23202: Reviews basic mathematical calculations for area and volume as well as metric conversions to prepare trainees for the module topic. A review of drawings and their interpretation is also provided, along with guidance for estimating the volume of concrete needed in placements of various shapes.
Module ID 27310; from Carpentry Level Three: Describes how tilt-up concrete construction is used and how tilt-up panels are formed, erected, and braced. Covers the installation of rebar and types of embedments used to lift and brace the panels. Also covers methods used to create architectural and decorative treatments.
Module ID 23211: Defines quality control and discusses fresh concrete troubleshooting and problem resolution. Provides detailed coverage of concrete field tests and specimen preparation according to ASTM standards.
Module ID 23210: Provides an overview of the concrete repair process, focusing on repairing concrete with concrete. Explains how hidden concrete faults and embedments are located and how to properly prepare reinforced concrete for placement of the repair material. Coverage of pre-placement and post-placements inspections is also provided.
Module ID 23205: Identifies and describes various architectural finishes and how they are applied. Covers the coloration of concrete surfaces and how to use form liners and stamps to create texture. Provides detailed guidance on the creation of exposed aggregate finishes.
Module ID 23206: Presents this key segment of concrete flatwork and the characteristics of industrial floors while explaining how industrial-class floors are created, including pre-placement considerations.
Concrete Construction curriculum provides four interim credentials culminating in a full craft completion: Concrete Placement, Concrete Formwork, Concrete Reinforcement, and Concrete in Highway Systems.
This Second Edition of the SMACNA commercial metal and flexible duct construction standards is another in a long line dating from the 1950s. A quick overview of the changes is provided in the front of this manual. Meanwhile, a Committee has already begun work on what will be either addenda or a new edition. Subjects being investigated are ribbed round duct, fatique testing of tie rodded metal, new flat oval duct standards, duct liner pin lengths, more double wall casings, sealant specifications and more performance specifications for joints and reinforcements. And, indirectly related to these standards, significant progress is being made by major mechanical code writing agencies in developing one uniform, consensus-supported code for the entire nation.

7. Table 1-1 now features static pressure only as the basis for duct construction classification; velocity levels were deleted. The default-to-one-inch-pressure-class (250 Pa) provisions were retained in case designers do not give construction pressure classes.
19. Structural engineers assisted SMACNA in rerating joints and reinforcements based on minimum thickness rather than nominal thickness. The EI index and ratings were changed to focus more on effective EI and allowable bending moments.
25. Designer options of specifying fittings by class (all-welded, spot or tack welded, seamed or rivet, screw or die-stamp locked) were inserted for sealed or unsealed specification in the event that allowable leakage specifications do not otherwise regulate this.
A duct system is an assembly whose primary function is to convey air between specified points. ASHRAE categorizes duct systems as either single path or dual path. Systems should be designed using accepted engineering practice and data such as that in the four ASHRAE Handbooks and the SMACNA HVAC Duct Systems Design manual. A duct system may contain ducts under positive and negative pressure. Air velocities will vary within the system. At coils and filters, the velocity may vary from below 1000 fpm (5.08 m/s) to over 3000 fpm (15.24 m/s). Velocity in duct mains and branches can be at constant (high or low) or varying levels. With the many available systems sizing methods (e.g., equal friction, static regain, velocity reduction, total pressure) and system types, performance cannot be economically optimized unless the designer selects construction details appropriate for the given pressure and velocity.
