The 2011 edition of the national masonry design code
and minimum specification is now available from The
Masonry Society. It represents a major update from the
2008 edition both in technical requirements and in
layout. This edition will be referenced by the 2012
International Building Code for the design and
construction of structural masonry, veneer, and glass unit
masonry. It has been updated to be consistent with the
requirements in ASCE 7-10, Minimum Design Loads for
Buildings and Other Structures, which includes a new
strength basis for wind loads.
Many revisions and enhancements have been made to
the 2011 Building Code Requirements and Specification
for Masonry Structures including:
- a recalibration of allowable stresses,
- the addition of provisions for infill masonry,
- a refinement of the quality assurance/special
inspection provisions for masonry that includes
references to relevant requirements for each
inspection task.
The new edition has been laid out in a
Code/Commentary and Specification/Commentary sideby-
side format (see sample to the right) so users can
quickly review the commentary related to the Code and
Specification provisions. Revision bars and deletion
arrows that signify major changes and deletions from the
2008 edition have been maintained in the 2011 edition,
and "bleed tabs" along the page edges allow the user to
easily identify which portion of the document they are
using.
