Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures and Specifications for Masonry Structures and Commentaries (ACI 530-05/ASCE 5-05/TMS 402-05, ACI 530.1-05/ASCE 6-05/TMS 602-05)

This code covers the design and construction of masonry structures and is accompanied by specifications and commentaries. Design methods include empirical design, prescriptive method, and strength design. It is written in such form that it may be adopted by reference in a legally adopted building code. Among the subjects covered are: definitions, contract documents, quality assurance, materials, placement of embedded items, analysis and design, strength and serviceability, flexural and axial loads, shear, details and development of reinforcement, walls, columns, pilasters, beams and lintels, seismic design requirements, glass unit masonry, veneers, and autoclaved aerated concrete masonry. The quality, inspection, testing, and placement of materials used in construction are covered by reference to ACI 530.1/ASCE 6/TMS 602 specification and other standards.
