CITING ASTM STANDARDS CODE
This Technical Notes is a design aid for the Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (ACIĥ30/ASCE 5/TMS 402-92) and Specifications for Masonry Structures (ACI 530.1/ASCE 6/TMS 602-92). Clay and shale units, mortar, grout, steel reinforcement and assemblage material properties are presented to simplify the design process. This Technical Notes is an aid for the design of brick and structural clay tile masonry structural members. However, design of masonry structural members begins with a thorough understanding of material properties. Standards for the structural design of masonry which are periodically updated such as the Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (ACI 530/ASCE 5/TMS 402) and the Specifications for Masonry Structures (ACI 530.1/ASCE 6/TMS 602) advance the efficiency of masonry elements with rational design criteria. Items addressed for the masonry specification are: requirements checklist and submittals, masonry quality assurance and inspection requirements, reinforcement and metal accessories, erection tolerances, construction procedures and grouting requirements.īrick masonry has a long history of reliable structural performance. Subjects discussed pertaining to the design standard are: allowable stress and strength design of unreinforced and reinforced masonry, prestressed masonry, empirical design, glass block masonry, masonry veneer, quality assurance, and seismic provisions. New provisions and revisions of existing standards for masonry design are emphasized. This Technical Notes provides a review of the national masonry design standard, ACI 530/ASCE 5/TMS 402, and its accompanying masonry specification, ACI 530.1/ASCE 6/TMS 602.
