Description
Shear walls are critical building elements to resist in-plane loads and are, for masonry, the seismic-force-resisting system. This session will review strength design of shear walls, along with both seismic detailing requirements and minimum/maximum detailing requirements for such walls.
Learning Objectives:
- Introduce masonry shear walls and applied loads on these critical elements
- Discuss seismic detailing requirements for masonry shear walls
- Review the strength design provisions for masonry shear walls for combined axial load and bending and for shear
- Overview maximum and minimum reinforcement limits and detailing of shear walls

Structural Masonry Detailing: Confined Lap Splices
Most designers who engineer reinforced masonry know that code provisions for lap splice lengths have been evolving over the past few code editions. This course provides an overview of a newer confinement-steel option that has the potential to significantly reduce the lap splice lengths, especially for larger diameter bars, through confinement of the structural reinforcement.

$75.00 Add to cartSpecial Inspection of Structural Masonry #4 – Mortar and Mortar Mixing
This lesson is designed to provide a thorough understanding of mortar for new masonry construction, especially as it pertains to the responsibilities of a Special Inspector. It describes the purpose of mortar joining masonry units and the desirable properties of fresh and hardened mortar. It describes the materials that comprise mortar and explains how mortars are specified, batched, and mixed. Mixing considerations necessarily include good practices for hot and cold weather construction and the additional care required for colored mortar, both for materials and mixing requirements. This lesson briefly describes quality assurance and quality control for mortar, the difference between QA and QC, and typical reporting requirements related to that.

This lesson will review the basics of masonry unit production and properties with a specific focus on those items inspectors and construction personnel would need to know about or confirm. Common concrete masonry units and clay masonry units will be discussed, along with key differences in these materials. Limitations on manufacturing that need to be understood by those using the units will be discussed.
