 OPENINGS IN CONCRETE MASONRY WALLS
(Part III): Out-of-Plane Forces
Previous editions of “Masonry Chronicles” discussed the design of concrete masonry around openings to resist in-plane gravity and lateral loads. This edition will discuss the design of masonry around openings to resist out-of-plane lateral loads.
