SUMMARY:Balanced Fire Safety Design & Resilient Masonry Fire Walls
DESCRIPTION:This program reviews US fire statistics\, the Balanced Fire Safety Design concept and the role that passive masonry firewalls play in it. Examples of how today’s building codes have eroded the Balanced Design Concept are shared to provide a better understanding of the crucial role fail-safe\, passive masonry fire walls play in today’s fire safety designs. To gain insight into wall assembly and material performance the ASTM E-119 fire test method that is used to qualify and quantify fire walls is reviewed along with the ACI/TMS 216 code requirements for concrete and masonry wall assembly fire resistance ratings. \nCredit: 1 AIA LU / 1 PDH / 0.10 CEU \n\nLearning Objective: \n\nTo become familiar with US fire statistics and trends.\nTo learn what Balanced Fire Safety Design concept is and the role that masonry firewalls play in it.\nTo realize that building codes have eroded the Balanced Design Concept and reduced Design Resiliency by relying more and more upon its active fire safety features.\nTo understand the background of\, and gain insight into the loopholes in\, the ASTM E-119 Fire Test and that that TWO wall specimens are normally used to pass the test.\n\n\nView the Recording of this webinar \n\nAbout the Presenter\nKevin Cavanaugh\,Cavanaugh & Associates / Arcosa Lightweight / cfiFOAM \nKevin currently chairs ACI/TMS Joint Committee 122 on Energy Efficiency of Concrete and Masonry Systems that is charged with developing national energy code standards and NCMA’s Masonry Communications subcommittee. He has worked for large\, multi-national and small\, family owned CMU manufacturing companies. He enjoys the people in the concrete and masonry industries and educating owners and architects on masonry’s many benefits. \nKevin earned a BSME at the University of Maryland and interned at the National Institute of Standards and Technology\, where he first became involved with the concrete and masonry industries. After graduation\, Kevin accepted a position as NCMA’s Energy Engineer. After two years\, and to better understand what NCMA’s members faced in their markets\, Kevin launched his career in technical sales\, marketing and product development of lightweight aggregate\, concrete masonry and associated concrete and masonry products and systems.

SUMMARY:Strength Design of Walls for In-Plane Loads & Seismic Detailing
DESCRIPTION:Shear walls are critical building elements to resist in-plane loads and are\, for masonry\, the seismic-force-resisting system. This session of Masonry Night School: Strength Design of Masonry will review strength design of shear walls\, along with both seismic detailing requirements and minimum/maximum detailing requirements for such walls. \nContinuing Education: 1 AIA LU / 1 PDH / 0.10 CEU  \n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nIntroduce masonry shear walls and applied loads on these critical elements\nDiscuss seismic detailing requirements for masonry shear walls\nReview the strength design provisions for masonry shear walls for combined axial load and bending and for shear\nOverview maximum and minimum reinforcement limits and detailing of shear walls\n\n\nView the Recording of this webinar \n\nAbout the Presenter\nJohn M. Hochwalt\, P.E.\, S.E.\, Director of Engineering\, KPFF Consulting Engineers-Seattle Structural Group\, is Director of Engineering for the Seattle structural group of KPFF Consulting Engineers. In that capacity\, he provides technical leadership for over one hundred structural engineers. Prior to joining KPFF in 1998\, he worked with RTKL in Baltimore and Barber & Hoffman in Cleveland. In addition to providing engineering services for the design of new buildings and retrofit of existing buildings\, he has taught structural design of masonry the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations\, the Structural Engineers Association of Washington\, the Northwest Concrete Masonry Association\, The Masonry Society\, and the University of Washington. He is the current editor of the Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook\, originally authored by James Amrhein\, and he recently served as co-author on the new Strength Design Guide of Masonry. Within The Masonry Society he has served in a variety of capacities including Chair of the subcommittee for Seismic and Limit Design for TMS 402\, voting member of the TMS 402 Main committee\, and corresponding member of the Design Practices Committee.  He was recently elected to serve on TMS’s Director of Directors and received a 2020 TMS Service Award.

SUMMARY:Strength Design of Walls for Axial Load and Out-Of-Plane Loads
DESCRIPTION:During this session of Masonry Night School: Strength Design of Masonry\, design of masonry walls loaded with out-of-plane loads and axial loads will be reviewed. Methods to consider secondary bending moments will be examined\, including using P-delta provisions\, and key points on interaction diagrams will be reviewed. Differences in the strength design provisions and allowable stress design will be briefly discussed. \nContinuing Education: 1 AIA LU / 1 PDH / 0.10 CEU  \n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nReview the design of walls loaded with out-of-plane with axial loads\nIdentify methods to consider secondary bending moment\nReview P-delta provisions for secondary bending moment\nDescribe basic differences between allowable stress design and strength design for such walls\n\n\nView the Recording of this webinar \n\nAbout the Presenter\n \nRichard M. Bennett\, Ph.D.\, P.E.\, FTMS\, Professor at the University of Tennessee\, is a Professor at the University of Tennessee. He served as the Chair of the 2016 TMS 402/602 Committee and he currently serves as the 2nd Vice Chair of the 2022 Committee. He has taught extensively and presented on many topics for The Masonry Society and other groups\, sharing insights and findings from his research and trial designs. For his tremendous efforts in leading the Committee\, he received TMS’s President’s Award and was made a Fellow of the Society. \nDr. Bennett recently co-authored Strength Design of Masonry for The Masonry Society and has served as a co-author on the popular Masonry Designer’s Guide\, TMS Responds\, and other publications. His writing and work have been awarded with TMS Journal Paper Awards and an 11th North American Masonry Conference Outstanding Paper Award.
