The MDG-2016 is an excellent resource for designers as well as students learning about masonry because it:
- was developed by dozens of masonry experts who are familiar both with masonry design and with the Code requirements governing masonry’s use
- includes over 110 practical examples of typical masonry buildings and components
- provides practical tips on how to quickly and efficiently design typical masonry
- includes drawings and photographs to illustrate concepts and procedures discussed
Topics covered in the 21 chapters of the MDG-2016 include masonry materials, testing, quality assurance, quality control, construction methods, structural design, seismic design, and using the TMS 402/602 with model Building Codes. A companion website provides users with additional resources including a digital copy of the MDG-2016, Excel spreadsheets used in some of the design examples and select technical notes on clay brick and concrete masonry that are often used by designers.
