Seismic/Limit States Design per TMS 402/602-22
2022-11-02 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
TMS 402/602-22 Night School – Session #3
This session of the TMS 402/602-22 Night School will review the changes to the provisions in Chapter 7 and Appendix C that effect the seismic design of masonry structures. This will include revisions to the requirements for special reinforced masonry shear walls, changes to the requirements based on the assigned Seismic Design Category, and changes made to the treatment of seismic displacements in the masonry code, including a new deformation compatibility provision. The potential impacts of these changes will also be reviewed.
Learning Objectives:

Review the changes made in TMS 402/602-22 that affect seismic design
Understand the technical background for the revisions to the provisions for special reinforced masonry shear walls.
Review the relationship between ASCE 7-22 seismic displacements and the TMS 402 provisions including the use of MCER displacements.
Understand the new deformation compatibility provision and its application.

Masonry Veneer Requirement Changes in TMS 402/602-22, A Whole New Chapter
2022-11-09 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
TMS 402/602-22 Night School – Session #4
The chapter on masonry veneer has been extensively revised and updated for the 2022 edition of TMS 402/602. Prescriptive requirements for both anchored and adhered veneer have been simplified with many of the major requirements now found in a one or two tables. A tributary area method was added for engineered design of anchored veneer as well as guidance for modeling anchored veneer in a full engineered design. Both the prescriptive and engineered provisions for adhered veneer were enhanced. Learn how to design masonry veneer with the new provisions and determine where your specifications need to be upgraded to meet the new requirements. Also learn about updated installation and inspection requirements and allowable tolerances for both types of veneer in construction. The updated requirements will simplify the design of your masonry veneer projects and assure the most efficient design methods are being used.
Learning Objectives:

Learn about the updated prescriptive requirements for anchored veneer including appropriate wind loading and deflection of backing requirements as well as requirements for veneer ties and their spacing.
Review new rational design methods for anchored veneer using the Engineered Design Methods: Tributary Area Method and Engineering Analysis Method.
Learn about the updated prescriptive requirements for adhered veneer including unit limitations, mortar material requirements and required system components.
Discuss needed updates to project specifications with information from TMS 602 for both anchored and adhered veneer including material and installation requirements.

Using the New Appendix D on Composite Reinforcement in Masonry
2022-11-16 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
TMS 402/602-22 Night School – Session #5
Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcement in concrete was first introduced over 25 years ago by way of ACI 440R, but prior to TMS 402/602 2022, no companion guidelines existed for masonry construction. The new Appendix D of TMS 402/602 is a first standard in the U.S. for the use of GFRP reinforcement in masonry. GFRP reinforcement has applications in masonry for specialty use near electromagnetic equipment and in locations exposed to severe environments. Learn how to use the new Appendix D to design and specify GFRP reinforced masonry for your next project.
Learning Objectives:

Define the scope and limitations of use of the new Appendix D to TMS 402/602 2022
Understand how GFRP reinforcement differs from steel reinforcement and the resulting differences in design philosophy
Identify design parameters for GFRP reinforced masonry including strength reduction factors. flexural strength, shear strength, deflection limits, and creep rupture
Review design examples implementing the new Appendix D provisions

Architectural Terra Cotta Detailing for Restoration Webinar
2024-11-06 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Denver)
Architectural terra cotta clad facades have been around for over 100 years. When the National Terra Cotta Society (NTCS) was created in 1910, they produced guide specifications and details in a folio first published in 1914 and later revised in 1927. This webinar will compare the early detailing for architectural terra cotta, along with other relevant industry standards and provide an assessment of the lessons learned and how that has translated into revised detailing, material production, and installation. Additionally, we will introduce new developments related to restoration of architectural terra cotta elements that have been developed in a collaborative effort between design professionals and terra cotta manufacturers. Specifically, revised details based on those shown in the NTCS documents but incorporating aspects of cavity and rainscreen wall assemblies. Finally, a new prototype terra cotta assembly that has been developed by design professionals at the Architectural Ceramics Assembly Workshop will be presented. These prototypes begin the process of evaluating alternative fabrication and support methods of architectural terra cotta. Read more at womenwire.org.
