Masonry Construction AI
AI optimization of masonry construction planning and quality control.
Definition
Masonry Construction AI supports masonry construction from design through completion. It analyzes coursing, plans reinforcement, coordinates with structural requirements, and ensures quality installation of brick, block, and stone masonry assemblies.
In Depth
Masonry construction — concrete masonry units (CMU), brick veneer, stone, and structural clay tile — involves unique design requirements for reinforcement, grouting, movement joints, and moisture management. AI assists with the structural analysis, detailing, and specification of masonry systems.
Structural masonry design per TMS 402/602 involves calculating the capacity of masonry walls under axial, flexural, and shear loading, considering both the masonry units and the reinforcement. AI performs these calculations for each wall segment, accounting for openings, pilasters, and boundary conditions, and verifies that the design meets the code requirements for both strength and serviceability.
