Masonry Educators’ Workshop 2022
The Masonry Educators’ Workshop (MEW) provides educators with the resources and background needed to effectively teach masonry, especially at the college and university level. This workshop was presented virtually June 21-23, 2022. 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. While those teaching actual masonry construction, or those outside of North America may find value in some topics, the focus will be teaching masonry design, detailing, construction, and maintenance/repair to undergraduate and graduate students preparing to be architects, architectural engineers, civil/structural engineers and construction managers using primarily U.S. based codes and standards. New faculty will find the workshop of value as they plan and prepare to teach masonry, and existing faculty will learn updates to codes, standards, materials, and practices that their students should be aware of.

Codes & StandardsTMS 402/602-22 Review #5: Using the New Appendix D on Composite Reinforcement in Masonry
$80.00 Add to cartTMS 402/602-22 Review #5: Using the New Appendix D on Composite Reinforcement in Masonry
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.

Codes & StandardsTMS 402/602-22 Review #4: Masonry Veneer Requirement Changes in TMS 402/602-22, A Whole New Chapter
$80.00 Add to cartTMS 402/602-22 Review #4: Masonry Veneer Requirement Changes in TMS 402/602-22, A Whole New Chapter
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. A tributary area method was added for engineered design of anchored veneer as well as guidance for modeling anchored veneer in a full engineered design. Both the prescriptive and engineered provisions for adhered veneer were enhanced. Learn how to design masonry veneer with the new provisions and determine where your specifications need to be upgraded to meet the new requirements. Also learn about updated installation and inspection requirements and allowable tolerances for both types of veneer in construction. The updated requirements will simplify the design of your masonry veneer projects and assure the most efficient design methods are being used.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn about the updated prescriptive requirements for anchored veneer including appropriate wind loading and deflection of backing requirements as well as requirements for veneer ties and their spacing.
- Review new rational design methods for anchored veneer using the Engineered Design Methods: Tributary Area Method and Engineering Analysis Method.
- Learn about the updated prescriptive requirements for adhered veneer including unit limitations, mortar material requirements and required system components.
- Discuss needed updates to project specifications

Achieving Resilience: How Masonry Supports Resilient Designs
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. Examples of resilient design strategies are provided.
Learning Objectives:
- Define resilience.
- Explain how resilient designs go beyond the minimum building code requirements.
- List at least three above-code standards that can be used with resilient designs.
- Describe inherent properties of masonry that provide resilience.
