Rocky Mountain Masonry Institute Increases Free Seminars

Words: Ann WolterRocky Mountain Masonry Institute (RMMI) now will offer a series of free monthly Lunch-n-Learn seminars for engineers.

The seminars are specifically geared to the professional needs of the target audience, and the topics are based upon information requests from architects and engineers. All seminars will be taught at RMMI in Denver.

The free Lunch-n-Learn seminars for engineers will be on the first Wednesday of every month. Mike Schuller, president of Atkinson-Noland, will present the first eight seminars. The eight-seminar series will constitute a course in masonry engineering basics aimed at practicing engineers who have never had a college-level masonry design course.

There may be some information of interest to architects and contractors, but it will mainly concentrate on engineering design, with example problems, etc. Students who attend all of the lunchtime seminars will have the basic information they need to design reinforced masonry following current building codes.
