Design of Unreinforced Non-Loadbearing Masonry / Block Walls with a Practical Example as per Australian Standard- AS3700 What you'll learn:
Students will learn how to practically design an unreinforced non-loadbearing masonry wall with a practical/ real world example
Students will learn about the fundamentals of masonry/block wall design, including applications of these walls, different support conditions for the wall, loading checks (such as wind loading, earthquake and robustness)
Requirements
To be familiar with the basics of structural analysis
Description
In this course, I will start with the applications of masonry walls in construction and then I will go through the fundamentals of masonry/block wall design including different support conditions for the wall, how to treat openings in the walls, different design checks (such as wind loading, earthquake and robustness), fire checks as well as calculating bending moment capacity of the walls and finally lateral load capacity of the wall.
Also, we will go through a practical example and will do all of these checks step by step. This is actually a real-world example of the design that we do in our everyday job.
By the end of this course you will learn about the fundamental and practical design considerations of masonry walls and will be able to design a Non-Loadbearing Masonry Wall similar to what a professional engineer does.
My goal is to add value to you by conveying my professional/practical experience as well as explaining the theoretical concept behind the design.
Who this course is for
� This course can be beneficial for anyone in the construction industry as masonry walls are frequently used in every construction type
� Civil engineering students
� Structural engineering students
� Graduate engineers
� Structural engineers ranging from the beginners to intermediate level who would like to refresh their knowledge and get a practical knowledge of masonry wall design
� Other professionals within the industry such as architects, contractors and project managers looking to increase their knowledge regarding to the basic concepts of masonry/block walls
