Education Webinar
Day 2 of the Mastering Masonry Series: Masonry Wall Design: Out-of-Plane Loading
September 9, 2025 | Tue 12:00 America/Chicago
Duration: 1.5 Hours
CE Credits: 1.5
$300
This webinar will discuss masonry wall design as it relates to out-of-plane loads based on TMS 402/602 Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures. Typical design loads determined through ASCE 7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures will be discussed, as well as load combinations that govern this design. Wall design will be based on the Strength Design provisions found in TMS 402, and conditions will be evaluated such as non-loadbearing walls, loadbearing walls, and perforated walls. We will discuss practical solutions through worked examples for these cases, and discuss the cost impact to projects.
- Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
- This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings.
Please note: This webinar is part of the Mastering Masonry: Designing, Constructing, and Sustaining Resilient Masonry Structures and is not included in the NCSEA Webinar Subscription.
