TMS 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.

Description
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.
Learning Objectives:
- Define the scope and limitations of use of the new Appendix D to TMS 402/602 2022
- Understand how GFRP reinforcement differs from steel reinforcement and the resulting differences in design philosophy
- Identify design parameters for GFRP reinforced masonry including strength reduction factors. flexural strength, shear strength, deflection limits, and creep rupture
- Review design examples implementing the new Appendix D provisions

TMS 402/602-22 Review – All Lessons
During this five-part Night School webinar series, masonry experts and Committee leaders will review the new standards TMS 402-22 Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures and TMS 602 Specification for Masonry Structures and changes made since the 2016 edition. These standards will form the basis for masonry design provisions in the 2024 International Building Code and other model building codes and include some major new provisions that include a new appendix on masonry partition walls reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcement, completely revised anchored and adhered veneer provisions, and enhancements throughout the standards. Read more about each session at the links below. Attendees are also encouraged to have a copy of the new TMS 402/602-22.
Session 1 – Overview of Changes in TMS 402/602-22 and Review of the Specification for Masonry Structures, Presented by John Chrysler, PE, FTMS
Session 2 – Major Structural Design Changes in TMS 402/602-22, Presented by Richard Bennett, PhD, PE, FTMS, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Session 3 – Seismic/Limit States Design per TMS 402/602-22, Presented by John Hochwalt, PE, SE, FTMS, KPFF Consulting Engineers
Session 4 – Masonry Veneer Requirement Changes in TMS 402/602-22, A Whole New Chapter, Presented by Brian Trimble, PE, CDT, LEED AP, FASTM, IMI
Session 5 – Using the New Appendix D on Composite Reinforcement in Masonry, Presented by Heather Sustersic, P.E., Colby Company Engineering

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.

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.
