The second session of the Allowable Stress Design of Masonry series reviews allowable stress design of masonry beams and lintels. This session also provides an examination of whether arching action can be used to reduce the loads on these elements. Deflection calculations will be reviewed, along with code compliance requirements relating to reinforcement and grouting. This session will also cover partial depth beams, deep beams, shear reinforcement, long-span beam criteria, torsion, and other requirements.

Learning Objectives

• Introduce the design of masonry beams and lintels for bending moment and shear
• Describe deflection calculations for beams and lintels
• Review partial depth beams and partial grouting
• Examine arching and discuss when it can be used

Allowable Stress Design of Masonry Night School introduces Allowable Stress Design (ASD) of Masonry, review code requirements, and examine designs of common masonry elements including, beams, walls, columns, and pilasters. Presenters will discuss design methodology as well as design for flexure, axial loads, and in-plane loads. The series will conclude with a review of requirements for reinforcement and connectors and detailing masonry effectively. is an excellent way to learn allowable stress design procedures. Attendees should have a basic familiarity with masonry (consistent with content presented in the Masonry 101 Night School Series).
