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.

$80.00 Add to cartTMS 402/602-22 Review #2: Major Structural Design Changes in TMS 402/602-22
This webinar will provide 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. The basis for the provisions, the impact on design, and some design aids will be presented.
Other structural changes that will be covered include: definition of net shear area particularly for beams, anchor bolt steel strength changing from being based on yield strength to ultimate strength, an increase of the allowable compressive force for masonry in allowable stress design, a change in the partially grouted shear wall factor, and an increase in the allowable shear friction strength as well as a change in the nominal shear friction strength for shear span ratios greater than 1. The potential impacts of these changes will also be reviewed.
Learning Objectives:
- Use the compression-controlled strength design provisions in TMS 402-22 and compare designs to TMS 402-16.
- Evaluate the change in anchor bolt steel strength in TMS 402-22
- Solve for shear friction strength for shear span ratios greater than 1 in TMS 402-22
- Name at least three other structural changes in TMS 402-22 and explain how they affect design

TMS 402/602-16 Code and Specification Update
The TMS 402/602-16 (formerly designated as TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5 and TMS 602/ASCE 530.1/ASCE 6) has been released and adopted by the 2018 edition of the International Building Code and International Residential Code for the design and construction of structural masonry, masonry veneer, and glass unit masonry.
This lesson provides updates for the major updates and changes to the 2016 TMS 402/602, with a short review on changes that will be made in the 2018 International Building Code’s masonry provisions. The 1.5 hour video is presented by Dr. Richard M. Bennett, Chair of the Committee that developed these provisions.
This lesson is intended for designers, contractors, and others to help them understand the main updates made to these codes and standards from the earlier TMS 402/602-13 and the 2015 IBC. It is assumed that the user has familiarity with those earlier documents.
