The TMS 302 Sound Standard provides minimum requirements for rating masonry walls for sound transmission class (STC) and outdoor-indoor transmission class (OITC) based on testing calibrated calculation procedures.
Topics covered include reference standards, definitions and notations, materials, construction, and methods to STC and OITC rating for concrete masonry and clay masonry assemblies.
TMS 302-18 is adopted by reference in the 2021 International Building Code.

Masonry Basics, 2nd Edition has been completely revised and updated. It serves as an introduction to masonry design and construction. The various component materials, the ways in which the components are assembled to form the masonry construction, and the weather-resistance and structural implications of the various types of masonry assemblies are described. Highlights of quality assurance and quality control issues are addressed and a few of the most common types of potential deficiencies in masonry construction are described so they can be avoided. Finally, a glossary of masonry terms used in the text is provided.
Masonry Basics can serve as a beginning text for architects, engineers, contractors, building officials, inspectors, building owners, or anyone else who wants to learn the basics of this industry.

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.

Assessment and Retrofit of Masonry Structures provides background, reference material, and guidance to design professionals, building owners, and contractors confronted with addressing existing masonry construction. Information related to construction characteristics, typical material properties, and analytical approaches are included for historic, transitional, and modern masonry construction typologies. The main focus of the book is structural stabilization, strengthening, and retrofit with maintenance and serviceability items (such as water penetration and cleaning) addressed as subtopics.

Topics addressed include an introduction to strength design concepts, background on structural masonry, general design, requirements for reinforcement and anchor bolts, and recommendations for construction. Also discussed are strength design procedures for beams, walls, columns, and shear walls. While the guide addresses unreinforced masonry, the primary focus is reinforced masonry designed to the TMS 402/602-16 and the 2018 International Building Code. The book contains dozens of design examples and design tips, coupled with excellent discussion.
The authors — Dr. Richard Bennett, a Professor at the University of Tennessee, and Mr. John Hochwalt, Director of Engineering at KPFF Engineers — both actively serve on the committee responsible for TMS 402/602, which contains requirements for strength design of masonry.
