Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook, 6th Edition, is based on the requirements of the 2006 IBC, the Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (ACI 530-05/ASCE 5-05/TMS 402-05) and ASCE 7-05. This book is useful to designers of reinforced masonry in eliminating repetitious and routine calculations. Detailed explanations and applications of Allowable Stress Design and Strength Design procedures are presented. More than 70 step-by-step examples are provided, including a one-story building and a seven story building. This book is intended to assist the practitioner in understanding and applying masonry design.

This book addresses essential information on:
• Materials
• Masonry Assemblage, Strengths and Properties
• Loads
• Distribution and Analysis for Lateral Forces
• Design of Structural Members by Allowable Stress Design
