| Authored by Dr. Vilas Mujumdar, P.E., S.E., C.E., this publication is based on 2003 International Building Code and ACI 530-02/ASCE 5-02/TMS 402-02 Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures. This application guide covers the design of concrete masonry structures through numerous design examples with a step-by-step solution approach. The book offers extensive coverage of the strength design method and includes a design example in the appendix. Basics of seismic design are also discussed.
The book is written in an easy-to-understand format without a detailed discussion on theory, and is intended to be a desk reference. It suits a broad audience of practicing engineers, code officials, undergraduate and graduate students, and professional engineering examination candidates.
