The Masonry Standards Joint Committee’s (MSJC) 2008 Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures (TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5 and TMS 602/ACI 530.1/ASCE 6) and Commentaries are referenced by the 2009 International Building Code (IBC).
This edition of the national masonry design code and minimum specification includes numerous changes and enhancements from earlier editions including provisions on self consolidating grout, reformatted and clearer seismic design requirements, revised anchor bolt capacity equations, and defined inspection frequencies of key aspects of masonry construction.
This edition includes bleed tabs, revision bars, deletion arrows and movement boxes so that users of the 2005 MJSC will be able to quickly identify sections that have been substantively modified.

This Standard provides minimum requirements for rating masonry walls for a sound transmission class (STC) and outdoor-indoor transmission class (OITC) based on field or laboratory testing or based on a calculation procedure.
The Standard is written as a legal document in mandatory language so that it may form a part of a legally adopted building code. The Commentary presents background details, committee considerations, and research data used to develop the Standard. Separate equations for clay and concrete masonry walls are used to reflect the varying properties of these materials related to sound transmission.
