Seismic Design Guide For Masonry Buildings

Author: Don Anderson, Svetlana Brzev | Size: 3.9 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Canadian Concrete Masonry Producers Association | Year: 2009 | pages: 317

This document is intended to assist practicing structural engineers in designing masonry buildings for seismic load effects according to the National Building Code of Canada 2005 (NBCC 2005) and the CSA S304.1-04 masonry design standard. The document provides a commentary which explains the underlying theoretical background and rationale for the CSA S304.1-04 seismic design provisions. Changes in the seismic design provisions contained in Part 4 of the NBCC 2005 and CSA S304.1-04, and their impact on masonry design and construction are discussed.
This document is a comprehensive state-of-the-art guide on seismic design and construction of masonry structural elements for low to mid-rise structures, such as warehouses, industrial buildings, schools, commercial buildings, and residential/hotel structures. It is restricted to masonry structures designed and constructed using concrete block units. Consideration of the slenderness effects in tall masonry walls is beyond the scope of this document.
The material is presented in a simple and user-friendly manner. It facilitates the application of seismic design provisions and cross-referencing of code clauses for designers. The document has been developed in a modular form, with the content divided into four chapters, each of which can be used in a stand-alone manner. The appendices contain useful resources such as design procedures and research background for some of the design provisions. For easy reference, relevant code clauses are identified by framed boxes wherever appropriate.
