Course Description:

'' Masonry is one of the key construction materials used in the UK and is used both as a load-bearing material and as a cladding to framed structures. Brick and block masonry remain the primary construction materials for houses in the UK and are used extensively in buildings of all types. Masonry structures have withstood the test of time and proven the inherent durability and structural integrity of masonry. Today’s masonry structures make use of modern materials and design methods to provide cost effective structural solutions. The introduction of the new European Codes and the supporting CEN standards provides both new opportunities and challenges for designers.

This course is a stand alone updating for those requiring more detailed knowledge of the changes that will occur in masonry design following the introduction of Eurocode 6.

Aims & Objectives:
The course is designed to enable delegates to:

Understand the framework of Eurocode 6 (BS EN 1996-1-1) and its relationship to other Eurocodes
Understand the arrangement of the contents, principles and application rules and the significance of the annexes
Understand the role and importance of the National Annex.
Appreciate the standards supporting Eurocode 6
Be able to determine the characteristic compressive strength of masonry and carry out basic wall design for vertical load
Have an appreciation of design for concentrated loads
Understand design for lateral loads
Be familiar with the approach to determining fire resistance using BS EN 1996-1-2
