This webinar was co-sponsored by ASCE's Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) and ASCE Continuing Education
Instructor: Alexander Newman, P.E., F.ASCE
Course Length: 1.5 Hours
Purpose and Background
The building-code provisions for designing masonry anchors have undergone significant changes in recent years and might not be familiar to all. The webinar offers clear guidance on the design of code-compliant anchors in masonry walls. This webinar presents a step-by-step explanation of the design process, following the Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (TMS 402-13/ACI 530-13/ASCE 5-13). Because the building codes are generally silent about anchoring to existing construction, the presentation includes information from other authoritative sources that provide the needed guidance.
Primary Discussion Topics
- Types of anchors used in masonry/span>
- Provisions of TMS 402-13/ACI 530-13/ASCE 5-13 for resisting tension, shear, and combined loading on embedded anchors
- Post-installed anchors in new masonry walls
- Post-installed adhesive and grouted anchors in existing masonry
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Know the differences between designing cast-in anchors in masonry and concrete
- Become familiar with the provisions of TMS 402-13/ACI 530-13/ASCE 5-13 for resisting tension, shear, and combined loading on embedded anchors
- Relate reliable designs for anchoring to existing masonry construction
Webinar Benefits
- Explore the design requirements of contemporary building codes for masonry anchors
- Work through a number of design examples
- Study proven design details for anchoring to existing masonry walls
- Use an opportunity to ask questions
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Students' achievement of the learning outcomes will be assessed via a short post-assessment (true-false, multiple choice and fill in the blank questions).

How to Earn your CEUs/PDHs and Receive Your Certificate of Completion
To receive your certificate of completion, you will need to complete a short on-line post-test and receive a passing score of 70% or higher within 1 year of purchasing the course.
How do I convert CEUs to PDHs?
1.0 CEU = 10 PDHs [Example: 0.1 CEU = 1 PDH]
