On June 11, 2021, the ICAA welcomed Foster Lyons for the Continuing Education course "Efflorescence: Causes and Prevention", presented as part of the Spring 2021 Health, Safety, and Welfare in Traditional Design Day.

This course is a primer in the causes and prevention of efflorescence on masonry.

This course will enable participants to:

1. Identify the four conditions necessary for efflorescence to occur.

2.Identify the primary cause of efflorescence in those unfortunate times when it does occur on a masonry assembly.

3. Properly specify masonry materials so as to reduce the risk of experiencing efflorescence.

4. Properly detail masonry assemblies so as to reduce the risk of experiencing efflorescence.

The ICAA is now pleased to present the full lecture for online viewing.
