Description
This new edition is based on the 2011 edition of the “Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures” (TMS 402-11/ACI 530-11/ASCE 5-11) as developed by the Masonry Standards Joint Committee (MSJC) and the 2012 International Building Code. Calculations for design loads are referenced to ASCE 7-10. In addition to several practical design examples and aids, the new edition also includes the complete design of the major concrete masonry elements of three typical masonry buildings – a one-story warehouse, a six-story hotel/apartment building and a three story office/laboratory building. All examples are solved using both strength design and allowable stress design procedures.
