Eurocode 6 represents a marked change in UK practice and there will be significant demands on those undertaking masonry designs to appreciate, understand and apply the new approach to both the strength of materials and the method of design. It introduces a new classification of masonry units and also a new design approach for masonry members in compression. This one-day course provides a clear and considered introduction to the design of masonry using Eurocode 6 focusing on the key elements of the new design code. An overview of the Eurocode suite is also given, placing masonry design in the context of the other design Eurocodes and the supporting standards. Tutorials covering the design of unreinforced brick and block masonry form an important part of the course. The course is highly interactive with worked tutorial examples and is based on practical design problems. Delegates' participation is actively encouraged throughout.
