The document is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of confined masonry construction and its components. It discusses the seismic performance of confined masonry buildings in past earthquakes. Chapter 2 presents general requirements related to confined masonry construction. Chapter 3 outlines a guideline for low-rise non-engineered confined masonry buildings (up to two stories high), which could be built without engineered design performed by qualified engineers or architects, and thus no design calculations or procedures are included. Many single-family dwellings are built in this manner. Additional design procedures and requirements for engineered confined masonry buildings are outlined in Chapter 4. Medium-rise
buildings of this type (up to five stories high) can be designed and built following the
recommendations provided in this document and other relevant national codes and standards.
