Description
Achieving energy code compliance is becoming increasingly more difficult using the code prescriptive methods. Whole building analysis is one alternative method that will produce more cost effective designs for exterior masonry assemblies. This lesson provides an overview of energy code provisions, reviews energy studies performed utilizing whole building analysis, and provides recommendations for cost effective energy efficient solutions for energy efficient exterior masonry wall designs.
Learning Objectives:
- Contrast prescriptive energy code compliance with whole building analysis. Understand what building systems most affect energy use in buildings
- Describe how thermal bridging and thermal mass affect energy code compliance.
- Discuss payback cost of whole building analysis identified energy improvements.
- Understand cost effective energy efficient exterior masonry wall design.

Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcement in concrete was first introduced over 25 years ago by way of ACI 440R, but prior to TMS 402/602 2022, no companion guidelines existed for masonry construction. The new Appendix D of TMS 402/602 is a first standard in the U.S. for the use of GFRP reinforcement in masonry. GFRP reinforcement has applications in masonry for specialty use near electromagnetic equipment and in locations exposed to severe environments. Learn how to use the new Appendix D to design and specify GFRP reinforced masonry for your next project.

$80.00 Add to cartTMS 402/602-22 Review #2: Major Structural Design Changes in TMS 402/602-22
This webinar will provide an overview of the major structural changes in TMS 402-22. One of the biggest changes was the introduction of compression-controlled sections in strength design. As a result of this, the maximum reinforcement provisions were deleted except for beams and intermediate and special shear walls under in-plane loads. The basis for the provisions, the impact on design, and some design aids will be presented.
Other structural changes that will be covered include: definition of net shear area particularly for beams, anchor bolt steel strength changing from being based on yield strength to ultimate strength, an increase of the allowable compressive force for masonry in allowable stress design, a change in the partially grouted shear wall factor, and an increase in the allowable shear friction strength as well as a change in the nominal shear friction strength for shear span ratios greater than 1. The potential impacts of these changes will also be reviewed.
Learning Objectives:
- Use the compression-controlled strength design provisions in TMS 402-22 and compare designs to TMS 402-16.
- Evaluate the change in anchor bolt steel strength in TMS 402-22
- Solve for shear friction strength for shear span ratios greater than 1 in TMS 402-22
- Name at least three other structural changes in TMS 402-22 and explain how they affect design

$80.00 Add to cartTMS 402/602-22 Review #1: Overview of Changes in TMS 402/602-22 and Review of the Specification for Masonry Structures
This course reviews the major changes from the 2016 edition to the 2022 edition of TMS 402/602. The 2022 edition was created using the first six-year revision cycle, allowing more comprehensive consideration of significant changes and reorganization of these Masonry Standards. In addition to reviewing the changes to the standards, this presentation reviews the Specification for Masonry Structures (TMS 602) and discusses the importance of why designers should be aware of how masonry is constructed.
Learning Objectives:
- Evaluate and utilize Masonry Standard updates
- Specify documents that are consistent with the current code
- Organize construction documents to be consistent with current codes and standards
- Recognize issues related to masonry construction
