Detailing Loadbearing Concrete Masonry

Course Overview

Speaker: Jason Thompson, PE Coltivomae, LLC

Once loadbearing concrete masonry has been designed, proper load-path detailing must then take place. Join Jason Thompson as he identifies key detailing items including wall to foundation, floor, and roof connections; minimum seismic reinforcement of walls, bond beams, lintels, opening, and control joints; splicing of reinforcement; and structural effects of through-wall flashing.

After the video, you will be able to:

1. Explain the importance of load-path detailing to overall structural integrity.

2. Identify key wall to foundation, floor, and roof connection points.

3. Summarize TMS 402 minimum seismic reinforcement requirements.

4. Discuss the structural effects of reinforcement splicing and through-wall flashing.
