26th September 2024 | Engineering seminar on load-bearing earth block masonry acc. to DIN 18940

There is a new normative basis, DIN 18940, for the construction, dimensioning and execution of load-bearing clay masonry. The introduction of the dimensioning standard is an important step towards the broader application of climate and resource-friendly construction methods. In the future, a large proportion of energy-intensive masonry building materials in building classes 1 to 4 could be replaced by clay masonry. As part of the one-day seminar aimed at structural engineers, leading German experts will share practical know-how on the standardised building materials clay bricks and clay masonry mortar as well as on the construction, dimensioning and execution of clay masonry.

The event is being organised by the MFPA Weimar in cooperation with the Dachverband Lehm e.V. and ZRS Ingenieure.
