Masonry Structural Design, Second Edition

Masonry Structural Design, Second Edition

<p><strong>Thoroughly Updated Coverage of Masonry Codes, Materials, and Structural Design</strong></p> <p>This fully revised resource covers the design of masonry structures using the 2015 International Building Code, the ASCE 7-10 loading standard, and the TMS 402-13 and TMS 602-13 design and construction standards. The book emphasizes the strength design of masonry and includes allowable-stress provisions. The latest advances, materials, and techniques are clearly explained. Chapter-long case studies featuring a low-rise building with reinforced concrete masonry and a four-story building with clay masonry illustrate the topics presented.</p> <p><em>Masonry Structural Design, Second Edition</em>, covers:</p> <p>• Structural behavior and design of low-rise, bearing wall buildings<br /><br />• Materials used in masonry construction<br /><br />• Code basis for structural design of masonry buildings<br /><br />• Basics of seismic design in masonry buildings<br /><br />• Introduction to MSJC treatment of structural design<br /><br />• Strength design of reinforced and unreinforced masonry elements<br /><br />• Allowable-stress design of reinforced and unreinforced masonry elements<br /><br />• Comparison of design by the allowable-stress approach versus the strength approach<br /><br />• Lateral load analysis of shear wall structure<br /><br />• Design and detailing of floor and roof diaphragms<br /><br />• Structural design of AAC masonry<br /> </p>
