Masonry Notes for Structural Drawings will be discussed, such as how and why to specify each element of structural masonry (specifically for block strength, mortar type and grout strength). The discussion will also include comments about general notes and common errors. The masonry prototypes portion of the seminar will include partition wall design, and relevant details. Common masonry tall walls will be discussed including school gymnasiums, as well as, flexible corridor walls. During the masonry details series portion of the seminar general 2D and 3D structural masonry details will be evaluated, such as how and when to use the details, the limitations of each detail and common “typical” masonry detail errors.
