Get completely up to date on the masonry requirements in the TMS 402 Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures
Masonry Structural Design, Third Edition, provides the information and insights you need to ensure that beams, columns, walls, and other building elements are designed to exceed ASCE 7 factored loads.
This comprehensive guide written by top experts in the field shows how to apply design methods to unreinforced and reinforced masonry elements. It emphasizes masonry strength design, discusses allowable-stress provisions, and clearly explains the latest advances, materials, and techniques. It includes detailed case studies of a low-rise building with reinforced concrete masonry and a four-story building with clay masonry to illustrate key principles and practices. New information covers variable phi factors for column design; changes to shear design and development length; revision of the Seismic Design chapter; and updated Instructors Manual and Mathcad spreadsheets.
Masonry Structural Design, Third Edition, covers:
*Structural behavior and design of low-rise, bearing wall buildings
*Materials used in masonry construction
*Code basis for structural design of masonry buildings
*Basics of seismic design in masonry buildings
*Introduction to TMS 402 treatment of structural design
*Strength design of reinforced and unreinforced masonry elements
*Allowable-stress design of reinforced and unreinforced masonry elements
*Comparison of design by the allowable-stress approach versus the strength approach
*Lateral load analysis of shear wall structure
*Design and detailing of floor and roof diaphragms
*Structural design of AAC masonry
