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.…
The chapter on masonry veneer has been extensively revised and updated for the 2022 edition of TMS 402/602. Prescriptive requirements for both anchored and adhered veneer have been simplified with many of the major requirements now found in a one or two tables.…
This session of the TMS 402/602-22 Night School will review the changes to the provisions in Chapter 7 and Appendix C that effect the seismic design of masonry structures. This will include revisions to the requirements for special reinforced masonry shear walls, changes to the requirements based on the assigned Seismic Design Category, and changes made to the treatment of seismic displacements in the masonry code, including a new deformation compatibility provision.…
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.…
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.…
The Masonry Educators’ Workshop (MEW) provides educators with the resources and background needed to effectively teach masonry, especially at the college and university level.
The workshop is targeted towards educators at North American colleges and universities who teach or will be teaching masonry in architecture, engineering, and construction management.…
This course provides an overview of resilient design and discusses how resilient design is and is not covered by building codes and standards. The role of masonry construction in meeting resilient design goals is explained, and the inherent properties of masonry that make it resilient are described.…
Reinforcement and connectors are essential to ensure a proper load path in masonry buildings. This session reviews basic detailing requirements for reinforcement and connectors and specific requirements for their design when using allowable stress procedures for masonry. Lap length requirements for reinforcement, use of hooks and confinement bars, and the design of anchor bolts are also be reviewed.…
Masonry columns and pilasters are often used in masonry buildings to carry large concentrated loads and, for pilasters, to support exterior walls subjected to out-of-plane loads. Allowable stress design and detailing required for these elements will be reviewed. This session looks at several sample masonry buildings to illustrate system behavior and overall design methodology.…
Shear walls are critical building elements to resist in-plane loads and are, for masonry, the wind and seismic-force-resisting system. This session reviews Allowable Stress Design of shear walls along with both seismic detailing requirements and minimum/maximum detailing requirements for such walls.…
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:
This course reviews allowable stress design of masonry beams and lintels and provides an examination of whether arching action can be used to reduce the loads on these elements. Deflection calculations are reviewed, along with code compliance requirements relating to reinforcement and grouting.…
This introductory course reviews basic allowable stress design concepts. Dr. McGinley presents key differences between allowable stress design and strength design procedures. This session also reviews masonry assemblies and systems, noting their purposes and resistance to primary loads. Attendees will learn about typical masonry building elements and their roles in the overall structural system including walls, beams, columns, and pilasters.…
While masonry is extraordinarily durable, maintenance is required from time to time. Based on inspection and assessments performed, issues may be found that require regular monitoring. Learn about common maintenance for masonry to ensure it continues to serve as intended. Techniques to routinely monitor the condition of masonry, cracks and more will also be discussed.…
Once an assessment is complete and a rehabilitation approach has been selected, implementing the rehabilitation work is the next milestone. Bid documents for rehabilitation projects of traditional masonry wall systems should address two fundamental issues. First, all existing conditions, particularly concealed conditions, are not known and can’t be known until the work begins.…
Once the assessment is complete and the deterioration mechanisms are known, rehabilitation options can be considered. This session introduces rehabilitation options for the transitional masonry wall system to be considered based on deterioration mechanisms, including those related to structural concerns and water management.…
Building on concepts presented during prior sessions, this session discusses approaches for obtaining information on material properties and how to use that information to understand structural capacity following applicable codes and guidelines. Several in situ methods are available for determining masonry mechanical properties including compression and shear strength.…
This session of the existing masonry series focuses on the important aspects of developing an investigation program for a transitional masonry building, including information to gather, areas for inspection, ongoing monitoring, the potential for investigative openings and laboratory testing to inform potential structural analyses to consider.…
This session of the existing masonry series discusses the typical masonry exterior wall systems, commonly referred to as transitional masonry wall systems and how to identify them. These wall systems combine aspects of both load-bearing masonry and modern curtain wall systems having structural frames.…
This session of the existing masonry series reviews masonry materials commonly used in cladding systems between the 1880 and 1945 in North America, including brick, terra cotta, concrete masonry, cast stone, natural stone, and mortar. Common material properties, uses, and deterioration mechanisms will be presented.…
