This guide provides comprehensive coverage of strength design principles and procedures for masonry structures, with primary focus on reinforced masonry designed to TMS 402/602-16 and the 2018 International Building Code. Unreinforced masonry is also addressed.
Topics include an introduction to strength design concepts, structural masonry background, general design requirements, reinforcement and anchor bolt provisions, construction recommendations, and strength design procedures for beams, walls, columns, and shear walls. Numerous design examples and practical design tips are integrated throughout.
The authors — Dr. Richard Bennett, University of Tennessee, and John Hochwalt, Director of Engineering at KPFF Engineers — both serve actively on the TMS 402/602 committee responsible for the strength design provisions addressed in this guide.
This guide is intended both as an introduction to strength design for designers new to the method and as a practical reference for experienced practitioners seeking to apply it more efficiently.
