During Existing Masonry Night School: Assessment, Maintenance, and Repair of Transitional Masonry Structures, instructors will discuss the most common issues in assessing, maintaining, and where needed, repairing masonry cladding systems constructed in North America between the 1880 and 1945. While masonry is extraordinarily durable, maintenance is required from time to time. Based on inspection and...

During this session, allowable stress design of masonry walls loaded with out-of-plane loads and axial loads will be reviewed. Differences in the Allowable Stress design provisions and strength design procedures will be briefly discussed, especially the secondary bending moments. Learning Objectives Review the design of walls loaded with out-of-plane with axial loads, including a brief...

Shear walls are critical building elements to resist in-plane loads and are, for masonry, the wind and seismic-force-resisting system. This session will review Allowable Stress Design of shear walls, along with both seismic detailing requirements and minimum/maximum detailing requirements for such walls. Design for in-plane shear, including shear friction, and in-plane flexure will be explored...
