Direct Design Handbook for Masonry Structures
NO. TMS-0403-10

$49.00

Direct Design Handbook for Masonry Structures (hereinafter referred to as the Handbook) was developed by The Masonry Society’s Design Practices Committee. This Handbook provides a direct procedure for the structural design of single-story, concrete masonry structures. This Handbook provides designs for both reinforced and unreinforced masonry. The procedure is based on the strength design provisions of TMS 402-08/ACI 530-08/ASCE 5-08 Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures and ASCE 7-05 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. The document is applicable to both residential and commercial structures. So that users are required to do only minimal calculation, parameters are limited and design options are dictated. This Handbook applies to common structures over the vast majority of the United States including mapped ground snow loads up to 60 lb/ft2 (2.9 kPa), mapped basic wind speeds up to 150 mph (241 kph), mapped seismic 0.2 second spectral response accelerations up to 1.5g, and mapped seismic 1.0 second spectral response accelerations up to 3.0g. This Handbook was developed as a consensus standard and written in mandatory language so that it may form a part of a legally adopted building code as an alternative to standards that address a much broader range of masonry construction. The direct design procedure is provided for the most common structures and then modifications to the direct design procedure are provided for some other conditions. This Handbook was written so that architects, engineers, contractors, building officials, researchers, educators, suppliers, manufacturers and others may use the standard in their practice for various purposes. Among the topics covered are reference standards, definitions and notations, site limitations, architectural limitations, loading limitations, material and construction requirements, direct design procedure, optional modifications to the direct design procedure, specifications, and details. The Commentary to this Handbook presents background analysis, details and committee considerations used to develop this Handbook. While not part of the legal requirements of this standardized Handbook, an Appendix providing an example of how to use the direct design procedure for a typical masonry building is provided following the Commentary.

Masonry Designers’ Guide (6th Edition)
NO. TMS-1001-10

$115.00

Completely Updated to Reflect New Code Requirements!

The best guide on designing masonry is now even better! The 6th Edition of the Masonry Designers' Guide (MDG-6) has been completely updated to address the numerous additions and changes in the 2008 edition of the Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures (TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5 and TMS 602/ACI 530.1/ASCE 6) (also referred to as the 2008 MSJC). In addition, information related to masonry design requirements in the 2009 International Building Code (IBC) is also included.

The MDG-6 is an excellent resource for masonry designers as well as students learning about masonry for the first time because:

  • it was developed by dozens of masonry experts who are both familiar with masonry design, and with the Code requirements governing masonry's use
       
  • it includes over 70 practical examples for typical masonry buildings and components
       
  • it has been reinforced with many new drawings and photographs to illustrate concepts and procedures discussed

    Topics covered in the MDG-6 include masonry materials, testing, quality assurance, quality control, construction methods, structural design, seismic design, and using the MSJC with model Building Codes. The companion CD included with the book includes additional resources including the complete MDG-5 for reference, Excel spreadsheets used in some of the design examples, additional examples based on IBC requirements, and select technical notes on clay brick and concrete masonry that are often used by designers.

    The MDG has become one of the most popular design guides for masonry due to its extensive examples and practical coverage of masonry design issues.

    Masonry Structures; Behavior and Design
    (3rd Edition)
    NO. TMS-1409-08

    $119.00

    The most widely used masonry textbook, Masonry Structures, Behavior and Design, by Dr. Robert Drysdale and Dr. Ahmad Hamid has been completely updated and is currently available from The Masonry Society (TMS). The long awaited update to this popular textbook includes much of the discussion that made previous editions so useful in both the classroom and in the workplace, but it has also been revised to discuss new research findings and to reflect the design provisions in the 2005 MSJC Building Code and Specification for Masonry Structures. The third edition incorporates some special modifications and features including:


  • Design methodology and examples utilize new codes and standards and additional examples have been included in each chapter.
       
  • References and background have been updated to include recent progress in the understanding of material properties, assemblage behavior, and component design.
       
  • Coverage of strength design is increased including new example designs for all components and the two building desings.
       
  • Seismic design requirements and practices are described in detail. • Coverage of prestressed masonry is expanded and design examples are included.
       
  • Coverage of prestressed masonry is expanded and design examples are included.
       
  • Glass unit masonry, deep beams, mortarless interlocking masonry, and other topics are also addressed.

    This textbook is ideal for undergraduate and graduate level courses and it is an exceptional reference for practicing designers.

    Standard Method for Determining the Sound Transmission Class Rating for Masonry Walls
    NO. TMS-0302-07

    $30.00

    The Masonry Society’s Standard Development Committee has updated this useful Standard which provide minimum requirements for rating masonry walls for a sound transmission class (STC) based on field or laboratory testing or based on a calculation procedure. Some of the topics covered include reference standards, definitions and notations, materials, construction, quality assurance and sound transmission class rating. The Standard is written as a legal document in mandatory language so that it may form a part of a legally adopted building code. The Commentary presents background details, committee considerations, and research data used to develop the Standard. For the 2007 Edition of this standard, the dataset for which the equations are based was increased to reflect addition research and the equations were modified from a linear approximation of the data to a nonlinear equation that better fits the test results. In addition, separate equations for clay and concrete masonry walls are now used to reflect the varying properties of these materials related to sound transmission.

    Standard Method for Determining Fire Resistance of Concrete and Masonry Construction Assemblies
    NO. TMS-0216-07

    $51.50

    Fire resistance of building elements is an important consideration in building design. This standard describes acceptable methods for determining the fire resistance of concrete building and masonry building assemblies and structural elements, including walls, floor and roof slabs, beams, columns, lintels, and masonry fire protection for structural steel columns. These methods shall be used for design and analysis purposes and shall be based on the fire exposure and applicable end-point criteria of ASTM E 119. The primary intended use of this document is for determining the design requirements for concrete and masonry elements to resist fire and provide fire protection. Prepared jointly by ACI/TMS Technical Committee 216 .
