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.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss basic detailing requirements for reinforcement and connectors
• Review specific Allowable Stress design requirements for reinforcement and connectors
• Overview development and lap splice requirements for reinforcement
• Review Allowable Stress design of anchor bolts

Allowable Stress Design of Masonry introduces Allowable Stress Design (ASD) of Masonry, review code requirements, and examine designs of common masonry elements including, beams, walls, columns, and pilasters.
