While the guide addresses unreinforced masonry, the primary focus is reinforced masonry designed to the TMS 402/602-16 and the 2018 International Building Code.

This book was developed as part of The Masonry Society’s Independent Author Publication series to meet a common request for specific information on this popular design method. This guide was developed to introduce strength design principles of masonry to designers unfamiliar with the method, while also helping those more experienced with strength design to use it more easily and effectively.
