The Masonry Designers' Guide - 2022 (MDG-2022) is a valuable reference for engineers, contractors, architects, inspectors, building code authorities, and educators. The initial chapters address materials, testing, quality assurance, quality control, and construction methods with reference to specific provisions of the 2022 TMS 402 Code and TMS 602 Specification. Subsequent chapters illustrate fundamental design concepts and show how to apply Code provisions to structural design of common masonry members. The final three chapters contain over 60 example problems related to three common masonry buildings. These comprehensive examples address a both clay masonry and concrete masonry, and both allowable-stress design and strength design). The MDG-2022 also includes discussion on masonry provisions in the 2024 International Building Code (IBC), and its examples are based on ASCE /SEI 7-22.

This major handbook covers the structural use of brick and blockwork. A major feature is a series of step-by-step design examples of typical elements and buildings. The book has been revised to include updates to the code of practice BS 5628:2000-2 and the 2004 version of Part A of the Building Regulations. New information on sustainability issues, innovation in masonry, health and safety issues and technical developments has been added.

A new edition of a well-known and respected book. This book provides a thorough guide for structural engineers on the use of concrete masonry. The second edition of the Concrete Masonry Designer's Handbook is the only handbook to provide information on all the new CEN TC125 masonry standards, as well as detailed guidance on design to Eurocode 6. Throughout the book, detailed design examples are provided which will enable the designer to develop an understanding of the correct design approach. At key points in the book, table and design charts are provided to further facilitate the design process.
