Reinforced Masonry Design
What is reinforced masonry? Reinforced masonry is often used for building foundations and exterior walls, for resistance to earthquake and wind loads, and where compressive resistance to loads is required. Where unreinforced masonry has some limited uses, reinforced masonry can be used in most building applications under most loading conditions. Masonry design is rarely taught in college design courses so practitioners must research how to use this material in design. This interactive online course will focus on reinforced masonry design and how the use of this design method is employed everyday for buildings, foundations, and retaining walls. This course is intended to close the knowledge gap and provide a background in the use of this material for design.
