Course Title: Masonry Engineering
Time: Mondays at 6:00pm
Professor(s): Daniel J. Morrissey, P.E., Phone: (203)624-9831

Course Description: Professor Russ Brown of Clemson University will present a session on masonry engineering software. Richard Filloramo, Area Director of Technical Services for IMI, will present architectural and engineering details for masonry construction. David Biggs, P.E. of Ryan Biggs Engineers will lecture on various masonry engineering systems such as load-bearing, prestressed masonry and AAC. Professor Howard Epstein, Ph.D., P.E. Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, UConn will also be participating.

There will also be a hands-on session where students can actually “build with masonry units” in the training center.

Classes which are all based on the NEW IBC 2003 and MSJC 2002 Codes include:

1. Introduction, history
2. Materials, testing and inspection, failure modes
3. Reference standards & codes, comparison of empirical, asd, lrfd
4. Seismic requirements, minimum reinforcement, development
5. Compression, columns, walls with concentric vertical loads
6. Flexure, walls with eccentric vertical loads
7. Shear, walls loaded out of plane – midterm exam
8. Stiffness and deflections
9. Cavity walls and veneer
10. Walls with in-plane horizontal loads (shear walls)
11. Shear walls continued
12. Lintels, bond beams, linked shear walls
13. Build something - review
14. Prestressed masonry - final exam

The class will be held at the IMI Training Center / BAC Local 1 – CT Headquarters, 17 North Plains Industrial Road, Wallingford, CT (directions attached). Class is scheduled for Monday evenings from 6:00 PM until 8:30 PM. The first class is scheduled to start Monday January 23, 2006.

Course Title: CE-320 Environmental Regulations Spring 2006
Time: Tuesdays at 6pm
Professor(s): Jeff Lackovic, Phone: (860)646-2469
Course Description: The Course presents the engineering and regulatory background for compliance with current environmental regulations. Air, Water and Waste regulations are reviewed in the courses three sections. The conclusion of each is a design project for an industrial case study. Schematic designs will be developed (AutoCAD not required), solving real-life waste compliance problems.
