Excellent presentation. I am an engineer and a retired professor who was taught masonry in the University of Florida by Prof. M. Self whom I learned a lot of practical design from. I found your presentation to be a refresher since I have not been involved with CMU for sometime now. I recommend you replace the “Non Engineers” in the title with “Everyone”. This presentation is beneficial to all. Looking forward to watching more videos of practical engineering design projects using CMU from you. I will recommend this and other videos by you to students and their professors in Nigeria.
Excellent thanks for the updates, I am building a home in Florida ICF walls, ICF roof with CMU interior walls minimal wood in structure! Plaster and EFIS on interior and exterior, no Drywall!!
found this to be so incredibly helpful. Thank you! I'm an apprentice / student in Las Vegas currently seeking my structural masonry inspection certification. I'll be rewatching this a lot before my ICC exams. Thanks again!
Thanks for such a great presentation, one thing I don't understand is how a masonry lintel works, I could not really differentiate it from a precast lintel type.
I’m just a student studying architecture, but this video has been most helpful. The presentation is clear and well presented (better than many videos I’ve seen in school covering similar topics).
A control joint is used in masonry to relieve stresses in the wall due to shrinkage or temperature loads, and allow for minimal horizontal reinforcement to restrain. An alternate method would be to not use control joints and provide more reinforcement for restraint.
Structural concrete and structural clay masonry offers some very nice cost competitive options for masonry buildings. Masonry can be used just for cladding, but it also can be utilized for structural and aesthetic purposes.
There are some nice tools from NCMA, ncma.org/resources/software/ Otherwise RAM Elements and RISA 3D offer finite element analysis and masonry design tools which are useful.

Glad the video helps, please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much working on my phd in masonry. I got answers which were unanswered for my work.
Thank you so much
Dissappinted there was no mention of drystack/mortarless CMU or coated rebar reinforcement.
Very helpful presentation. Thank you.
Great presentation. I was on the fence on using masonry for 3 story structure, but this presentation convince me to go with masonry. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent 👌🏼
Enjoyed your talk. Very informative!
thanks
Professional presentation

Thank you, we are glad you have found it useful!
V good info
What year did they start putting in rebar in bolck walls?
Very nice 👍
Thank you 👍
Thank you for the information. Could column stiffener be used instead of control joint?

Great presentation Beth!
Thanks so much!
@@SamRubenzer Beth! I might have another project for you, I'll reach out via email. Talk soon!
super useful
Glad to hear that
Great video. The problem is finding workers with the the Skill set to do masery work.
Sometimes the only skill deficit is the ability to follow a design!
The problem is energy efficiency codes destroy the architecture beauty of masonry. Masonry is basically an expensive cladding at this point
Structural concrete and structural clay masonry offers some very nice cost competitive options for masonry buildings. Masonry can be used just for cladding, but it also can be utilized for structural and aesthetic purposes.
do you suggest any best software for reinforced masonry design for different sizes of CMU
There are some nice tools from NCMA, ncma.org/resources/software/
Otherwise RAM Elements and RISA 3D offer finite element analysis and masonry design tools which are useful.
This video is amazing
