Abstract
Provides guidance on the design of plain masonry in building structures. Plain masonry is an assemblage of structural units, either laid in situ or constructed in prefabricated panels, in which the structural units are bonded and solidly put together with mortar or grout, but without reinforcement. Masonry designed in accordance with this manual will normally comply with BS 5628 Parts 1 and 3. Intended for use by structural engineers in the preparation of structural design calculations, and covers the following design stages: Choice of form, choice of materials, general principles of limit state design for masonry walls and columns, design of loadbearing masonry, and details and construction.
