INSTRUCTOR: Alexander Newman, P.E., F.ASCE
Course Length: 1.5 Hours
Sponsored by ASCE's Structural Engineering Institute and ASCE Continuing Education.
Purpose and Background
The building-code provisions for designing masonry anchors have undergone significant changes in recent years and might not be familiar to all. The webinar offers clear guidance on the design of code-compliant anchors in masonry walls. This webinar presents a step-by-step explanation of the design process, following the Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (TMS 402-13/ACI 530-13/ASCE 5-13). Because the building codes are generally silent about anchoring to existing construction, the presentation includes information from other authoritative sources that provide the needed guidance.
Primary Topics of Discussion
- Types of anchors used in masonry
- Provisions of TMS 402-13/ACI 530-13/ASCE 5-13 for resisting tension, shear, and combined loading on embedded anchors
- Post-installed anchors in new masonry walls
- Post-installed adhesive and grouted anchors in existing masonry
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Know the differences between designing cast-in anchors in masonry and concrete
- Become familiar with the provisions of TMS 402-13/ACI 530-13/ASCE 5-13 for resisting tension, shear, and combined loading on embedded anchors
- Relate reliable designs for anchoring to existing masonry construction
Webinar Benefits
- Explore the design requirements of contemporary building codes for masonry anchors
- Work through a number of design examples
- Study proven design details for anchoring to existing masonry walls
- Use an opportunity to ask questions
Intended Audience
- Structural engineers
