February 16, 2012; 9 am – 11 am Pacific Time
Speaker: Richard E. Klingner, Ph.D.
This seminar first addresses the basic behavior of low-rise masonry structures under gravity and lateral loads. Such structures are composed of only a few basic elements — masonry walls loaded out of plane; masonry walls loaded in plane; masonry lintels; and floor and roof diaphragms. Design of each is briefly discussed, using the procedures of the 2011 MSJC Code for strength design of reinforced masonry. The seminar concludes with a review of the proper specification of masonry units, mortar, grout and accessory material in the context of the 2011 MSJC Code and Specification. The seminar is accompanied by PowerPoint handouts, design spreadsheets, and comprehensive notes with example problems.
The web seminar will also include three question-and-answer periods.
Speaker Bio:
Richard E. Klingner: Professor Klingner received his academic degrees (BS, MS and PhD) from the University of California in Berkeley. His field of specialization is structural engineering, with emphasis on the analytical and experimental investigation of the dynamic response of structures, earthquake-resistant design of masonry and concrete structures, and anchorage to concrete.
Since 1977, he has been a faculty member in the Department of Structural Engineering at the University of Texas in Austin, where he teaches undergraduate and graduate classes on structural analysis, dynamics, and the behavior and design of masonry and reinforced concrete structures. He conducts investigation in those areas, and has authored or co-authored more than 80 refereed journal articles, 40 books or book chapters, and 500 other technical publications. Currently, he conducts investigations of the performance-based seismic design of masonry, of autoclaved aerated concrete masonry, and of reinforced concrete bridge decks. Since 2004, he has been Associate Department Chair, in charge of the Architectural Engineering program.
He takes a leading role in the activities of many technical committees of the US and other countries, including the American Concrete Institute, The Masonry Society, and the American Society for Testing and Materials. For the period 2002-2008, he was Chair of the Masonry Standards Joint Committee, sponsored by The Masonry Society, the American Concrete Institute, and the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Small Business Registration: We provide discounted registration for small businesses. We have defined small businesses for this purpose as those businesses with no more than 4 engineers on staff. Please note that this discounted registration does not depend on the number of engineers attending the seminar or those in a particular office, but rather on the number of engineers on staff in the small business.
- Seminar registration fee is $100 for small businesses with 1-2 engineers on staff. This is for one connection*; if a second connection* is needed, additional fees apply.
- Seminar registration fee is $200 for small businesses with 3-4 engineers on staff. This is for one connection*; if a second connection* is needed, additional fees apply.
Please call 847-991-2700 to register as a small business.
