During this session of Masonry Night School: Strength Design of Masonry, design of masonry walls loaded with out-of-plane loads and axial loads will be reviewed. Methods to consider secondary bending moments will be examined, including using P-delta provisions, and key points on interaction diagrams will be reviewed. Differences in the strength design provisions and allowable...

Shear walls are critical building elements to resist in-plane loads and are, for masonry, the seismic-force-resisting system. This session of Masonry Night School: Strength Design of Masonry will review strength design of shear walls, along with both seismic detailing requirements and minimum/maximum detailing requirements for such walls.
