The Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures includes two essential standards and their commentaries: TMS 402-16 (Building Code Requirements) and TMS 602-16 (Specification for Masonry Structures).
TMS 402 covers the design and construction of masonry structures, while TMS 602 outlines minimum construction requirements. The accompanying commentaries explain background details, committee considerations, and research used in developing the standards.
These standards are referenced in the 2018 International Building Code (IBC) for structural masonry, veneer, and glass unit masonry, and include the quality assurance provisions from TMS 602.
Originally developed through the Masonry Standards Joint Committee (MSJC), these standards were formerly designated as TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5 and TMS 602/ACI 530.1/ASCE 6.
