  • Design and Construction Guidelines for Dry-Stack Concrete Masonry

    Design and Construction Guidelines for Dry-Stack Concrete Masonry

    $32.00

    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.

    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.

    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.

    $200.00 (Paperback)

    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.

    This 2022 edition,has been fully updated for new and revised referenced standards, including ASCE/SEI 7-22 and numerous ASTM standards. It is referenced by the 2024 International Building Code (IBC)

    Highlights of the 2022 Edition
    • Revised masonry veneer provisions based on a more rational design approach.
    • New Appendix D covering composite reinforcement in masonry.
    • Refined design and construction provisions throughout, including improved treatment of compression-controlled sections.
