Description
Proper testing of masonry products is essential to ensure that materials meet project requirements. There are many mistakes that can be made during product testing, and most of these mistakes can lead to jobs being delayed or stopped, and usually require costly follow-up to determine if there are problems with the resulting construction. Proper testing procedures for masonry products is covered in this lesson and typical mistakes made will also be presented.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the common tests required by the building code for testing of masonry units, materials and assemblies.
- Understand the proper procedures for performing testing of masonry materials according to ASTM standards.
- Learn the requirements for masonry material testing equipment according to ASTM standards.
- Identify common errors that occur during testing and how to correct them.

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. The potential impacts of these changes will also be reviewed.
Learning Objectives:
- Review the changes made in TMS 402/602-22 that affect seismic design
- Understand the technical background for the revisions to the provisions for special reinforced masonry shear walls
- Review the relationship between ASCE 7-22 seismic displacements and the TMS 402 provisions including the use of MCER displacements
- Understand the new deformation compatibility provision and its application.
