Masonry Night School Continues with Strength Design Course
Masonry Night School continues with this 6-session course. Strength Design of Masonry introduces strength design of masonry, review code requirements, and examine designs of common masonry elements including, beams, walls, columns, and pilasters. Design methodology will be reviewed, as will design for flexure, axial loads, and in-plane loads. The course will conclude with a review of requirements for reinforcement and connectors and detailing masonry effectively. This course is an excellent way to learn strength design procedures. Those taking the course should have a basic familiarity with masonry (consistent with content presented in the Masonry 101).
Continuing Education: 1 AIA LU / 1 PDH / 0.10 CEU each
