TMS 402/602-22 Review #2: Major Structural Design Changes in TMS 402/602-22

This session provides 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.…

Allowable Stress Design of Masonry #3: Design of Walls for Axial Load and Out-of-Plane Loads

Allowable stress design of masonry walls loaded with out-of-plane loads and axial loads are reviewed. Differences in the Allowable Stress design provisions and strength design procedures will be briefly discussed, especially the secondary bending moments.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review the design of walls loaded with out-of-plane with axial loads, including a brief overview of unreinforced masonry design
  • Describe basic differences between allowable stress design and strength design for such walls
  • Development of ASD Interaction diagrams will be presented
  • Provide examples of masonry walls for common thicknesses, reinforcing and load and loads

Strength Design of Masonry #1: Introduction to Strength Design of Masonry and Design Methodologies

This introductory session will review basic strength design concepts for masonry, noting key differences with procedures for concrete. Masonry assemblies and systems will be briefly reviewed noting their purposes and resistance to primary loads. Individual masonry elements of masonry buildings including walls, beams, columns, and pilasters will then be introduced, related to their roles in the overall structural system to orient attendees for further sessions where the design of these elements will be discussed.…

Design of Masonry Shear Walls

The design of reinforced masonry shear walls using both the Allowable Stress Design method and the Strength Design method is covered in this lesson.  The requirements for both the design for overturning and the design for shear are explained. The prescriptive seismic detailing requirements for each of three reinforced masonry shear walls types, ordinary, intermediate, and special, are explained, with particular attention to special reinforced shear walls.…
