Reinforced Masonry Design

At the end of this course, you will be able to: Describe the approaches to both ASD and LRFD design for reinforced masonryIdentify the differences between the prescriptive limits of the building code and the design requirements for reinforced masonry for load bearing wallsIdentify the primary failure modes for reinforced masonry that require design and how to adjust the design to accommodate both axial and lateral loadsIdentify the approximate limits of loads such as wind, earthquakes, flood and blast, and issues important to these loads when using reinforced masonry
