Website Price $55.00 Author: J A Farny, J M Melander, W C Panarese Format: Softcover Copyright: 2008 Pages: 304 Qty: Description   The sixth edition of PCA's Concrete Masonry Handbook for Architects, Engineers, Builders reflects state-of-the-practice for concrete masonry construction presented in a new layout style. More than 200 color photos describe designing and building with concrete masonry. Like the previous version, this one contains nine chapters, giving comprehensive coverage to materials - from units, to mortar, to grout. The chapters on design and construction provide an introduction to the structural behavior of masonry elements, including the types of loads acting on structures, how the loads are carried, key components of masonry walls, and a detailed description of placing masonry. Includes information on applications for concrete masonry structures, finishes such as paint and plaster, more than 40 details of masonry sections, and a brand new glossary. Discussions about codes and standards reflect the latest information available at the time of printing: the 2006 International Building Code, the 2005 Masonry Standards Joint Committee Building Code Requirement for Masonry Structures and Specification for Masonry Structures, with related commentaries, and the most recent ASTM reference standards. Relevant research and technical publications, including the National Concrete Masonry Association TEK series, are extensively referenced, providing both a thorough understanding of various topics and a key resource for deeper study. From proven practices to innovations in materials and methods, this book delivers sound technical information to a broad audience. Sample topics include self-consolidating grout, colored mortars, preblended mortar materials, mortar netting, segmental retaining walls and other landscape applications, and hot and cold weather construction techniques. From the Preface Concrete masonry is a versatile, durable, and economical construction material. Since the beginning of the U.S. concrete masonry industry, in 1882, when the first concrete block was molded, the units have become a staple of construction. Concrete masonry is used to support structural loads and provide aesthetic appeal. And new technology has increased the variety of configurations and finishes available with the material, which is used in residential, commercial, and industrial structures, plus many special applications such as pavements, sound barrier walls, and retaining walls. The Concrete Masonry Handbook has been the primary reference on concrete masonry since it was first published in 1951. As with past editions that reflected progress and advances in the masonry industry, the Sixth Edition also presents new developments and engineering concepts that have occurred since the Fifth Edition was originally published in 1991. Notably, there has been more attention placed on masonry's performance during earthquakes and high wind events. The handbook gives a more comprehensive discussion of building codes, structural design, and the interrelationship between them. The layout of the book is the same as that of the previous edition. A greater emphasis has been placed on requirements of the new Building Code Requirements and Specifications for Masonry Structures (MSJC 2005). We continue the tradition of citing ASTM standards and have updated the list of them that appears following the References. This Sixth Edition has a new appearance. In terms of graphics, full-color images have replaced all but a few of the black-and-white images. Tables and charts have a new look. The References have now been listed in the author-date style, which is more meaningful to those familiar with the technical literature on this topic and something that readers should find helpful. The authors are grateful for contributions made to the Sixth Edition by leading experts in the field of concrete masonry (see Acknowledgments). They have attempted to make this edition a current and concise reference on concrete masonry technology. Readers are encouraged to submit comments to improve future printings and editions of this book. Table of Contents Chapter 1: General information on concrete masonry units.
