    ACI-TMS CODE 122.1-21 Thermal Bridge Mitigation for Buildings Having Concrete and Masonry Walls and Masonry Veneer — Download Version

    $99.00

    This code prescribes minimum design and construction requirements for mitigating thermal bridges in the building envelopes of new buildings and additions to existing buildings. It applies to buildings having concrete or masonry walls; masonry veneer, including veneer attached to frame walls; and balconies or components that extend through the building envelope. It also has criteria for metal thermal bridges in these buildings.

    This code is applicable to commercial and mid- to high-rise residential buildings that use either electricity or fossil fuel (regardless of the generation source). It can be used with applicable energy codes and standards.

  • ACI-TMS CODE 216.1-14 Code Requirements for Determining Fire Resistance of Concrete and Masonry Construction Assemblies — Download Version

    ACI-TMS CODE 216.1-14 Code Requirements for Determining Fire Resistance of Concrete and Masonry Construction Assemblies — Download Version

    $71.50

    Fire resistance of building elements is an important consideration in building design. While structural design considerations for concrete and masonry at ambient temperature conditions are addressed by ACI 318 and TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5, respectively, these codes do not consider the impact of fire on concrete and masonry construction. This standard contains design and analytical procedures for determining the fire resistance of concrete and masonry members and building assemblies. Where differences occur in specific design requirements between this standard and ACI 318 and TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5, as in the case of cover protection of steel reinforcement, the more stringent of the requirements shall apply.

    TMS 402/602-13 Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures (MSJC 2013) – Download Version

    $124.00

    TMS 402-13/ACI 530-13/ASCE 5-13 and TMS 602-13/ACI 530.1-13/ASCE 6-13.

    The 2013 edition of Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures introduced major technical and organizational updates from the 2011 edition and is referenced by the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) for the design and construction of structural masonry, masonry veneer, and glass unit masonry.

    Key changes include a complete reformatting for improved usability, a new appendix introducing an optional limit design method for special reinforced masonry shear walls, and a new prescriptive design chapter for partition walls. Additional updates cover moment magnifier provisions for reinforced masonry, revised design rules for partially grouted shear walls, and enhanced veneer requirements for seismic design categories D, E, and F.

    Published jointly by TMS, ACI, and ASCE, this edition provides a coordinated and authoritative standard for masonry design and construction under the 2015 IBC.

  • Design and Construction Guidelines for Dry-Stack Concrete Masonry - Download Version

    Design and Construction Guidelines for Dry-Stack Concrete Masonry – Download Version

    $32.00

    Design and Construction Guidelines for Dry-Stack Concrete Masonry was developed as a non-mandatory aid for designers, building officials, contractors, educators, and others interested in dry-stack masonry construction.

    Dry-stack masonry construction, which consists of individual masonry units placed without the use of mortar in the head and bed joints, is one of the earliest forms of construction. Despite its historical use, there is little in the way of contemporary design and construction guidance in the United States on the use of dry-stack masonry systems for structural applications. Because the majority of dry-stack research has been limited to reinforced or prestressed concrete masonry construction, the scope of this guide is limited to reinforced or prestressed, dry-stack construction of concrete masonry units.
