AE 720 - Masonry Design3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course examines design of unreinforced and reinforced masonry structures. Topics include lintels, walls subjected to out-of-plane and in-plane loads, detailing, allowable stress design, and strength design. (prereq: graduate standing, AE 740 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• be familiar with the material properties of masonry units and mortar
• understand the behavior and design of masonry flexural members
• understand the design of masonry walls for axial loads
• understand the design of masonry walls for out-of-plane bending
• understand the design of masonry walls for in-plane bending and shear
• be familiar with detailing of masonry walls
• understand design of anchorage in concrete and masonry
