Who Should Attend?
- Design Professionals
- Structural engineers
- Architects interested in
structural design
- Structural designers
- Contractors who are interested
in the design of masonry
- Building officials
- Educators in engineering and
engineering technology
Why Should You Attend this Seminar?
- Software valued at over $153 is
included as part of the cost of registration
- After the seminar, you will
design masonry walls and
lintels more accurately, and your clients will have a more
economical design
- Design time can be reduced
significantly. Alternative
solutions can be explored and compared. Software
features allow for the user to make design decisions with
a wealth of information displayed graphically.
- You will receive a packet of
information including copies of speaker slides and several examples
worked first by
hand, then explored in more depth and with more options
using the software
- You will gain valuable insights
from the speaker’s experience
in the field of masonry design, masonry research
and software development.
- Most design professionals have
no formal training or
education in the design of masonry.
Valuable fundamentals will be included in the seminar.
- Both un-reinforced and
reinforced masonry is included.
- Design of lintels constructed of
either reinforced concrete
or masonry is included
- Chances of committing a design
error are significantly
reduced.
- Analysis capability is featured,
including the ability to
explore all required loading combinations and design for
the most critical case. In many instances, recognition of
the critical loading combination is not at all obvious.

Instructors
One of the following speakers will be your instructor:
Russell Brown
P.E., Ph.D., is Professor of Civil Engineering at Clemson
University
He currently chairs the Allowable Stress Design Subcommittee
of the Masonry Standards Joint Committee. He also chairs the
Main Committee, ASTM C-15 on Manufactured Masonry Units. He is
a Founding Member and member of the Board of Directors of The
Masonry Society. He has written many papers on behavior and
design of masonry structures and components, and several of
the current code provisions are based on his research. He
teaches a course in structural design of masonry structures
and has conducted over 50 seminars on the masonry design code,
the Masonry Designer’s Guide and other masonry-related topics.
Evaluations of his seminars by the participants often include
comments such as, “ easy to understand,
practical, good sense of humor, made a difficult subject easy
to follow, kept my interest.” He is one of two coauthors of
the software being distributed at this seminar.
James Nelson, Jr.
P.E., Ph. D., is Professor
and Chairman of Civil Engineering at Clemson University
Registered in four states as a professional engineer, Dr.
Nelson is a member of ICBO, ASCE and the SAFE Association.
Before pursuing a fulltime
academic career, he worked for several years as a design
engineer with Brown & Root, Exxon and the
Offshore Company in Houston, Texas. He has written software
for inclusion in three textbooks written by Jack
McCormac on Structural Analysis, Reinforced Concrete Design
and Structural Steel Design. Dr. Nelson is one of two
co-authors of the software being distributed at this seminar. |
