Strength Design of Walls for Axial Load and Out-Of-Plane Loads

February 17, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST

During this session of Masonry Night School: Strength Design of Masonry, design of masonry walls loaded with out-of-plane loads and axial loads will be reviewed. Methods to consider secondary bending moments will be examined, including using P-delta provisions, and key points on interaction diagrams will be reviewed. Differences in the strength design provisions and allowable stress design will be briefly discussed.

Continuing Education: 1 AIA LU / 1 PDH / 0.10 CEU


Learning Objectives:

  • Review the design of walls loaded with out-of-plane with axial loads
  • Identify methods to consider secondary bending moment
  • Review P-delta provisions for secondary bending moment
  • Describe basic differences between allowable stress design and strength design for such walls
