Description
Developed by The Masonry Society’s Design Practices Committee, this Handbook establishes a direct procedure for the structural design of reinforced concrete masonry and clay masonry structures. The procedure is grounded in the strength design provisions of TMS 402-13/ACI 530-13/ASCE 5-13 Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures and ASCE 7-10 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, and applies to both residential and commercial construction.
Written as a consensus standard in mandatory language, the Handbook is suitable for legal adoption as a code alternative to standards addressing a broader range of masonry construction.
Technical content includes reference standards, definitions and notations, site and architectural limitations, loading limitations, material and construction requirements, direct design procedures, specifications, and construction details. An accompanying Commentary documents the background analysis, design rationale, and committee deliberations underlying each provision.
