 Design of Anchor Bolts in Concrete Masonry
This edition of “Masonry Chronicles” will discuss the design of anchor bolts in concrete masonry and highlight the differences in the requirements of the 2006 International Building code1 (IBC) and the 2009 IBC2. For masonry design, the 2006 IBC references the 2005 edition of Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures3 (ACI530-05/ASCE 5-05/ TMS 402-05) or simply ACI 530-05. The 2009 IBC references the 2008 edition of Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures4 (TMS 402-08/ACI530-08/ASCE 5-08/) or simply TMS 402-08.
