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.

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.

This program is intended for any Owner, Architect, Engineer or Contractor who is assessing/purchasing/stabilizing/renovating an existing (especially an historic) building with masonry wall (including load-bearing/non-load-bearing/veneers) such as brick. stone or concrete masonry units. This program will specifically provide attendees with the fundamental skills necessary to understand how the following impact existing masonry structures:
- Differing Architectural Approaches to Historical Restorations
- Structural Functions of Masonry Walls
- Building Code Evaluations of Existing Buildings
- Investigation Techniques and Standards
- Mortar Repointing and Crack Repair Techniques
- Retrofit Veneer Anchor System
- Lateral Restraint Anchors and Bracing Systems

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.

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.

This guide covers the design and construction of dry-stack concrete masonry structures constructed from hollow units. Among the subjects covered are history and background, fire resistance, design, construction, quality assurance, materials, surface-bonding, placement of embedded items, analysis, strength and serviceability, flexural and axial loads, shear, details and development of reinforcement, walls, and seismic design requirements.

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.
