The Masonry Designers’ Guide – 2022 (MDG-2022) is a valuable reference for engineers, contractors, architects, inspectors, building code authorities, and educators. Initial chapters address materials, testing, quality assurance, quality control, and construction methods with reference to specific provisions of the 2022 TMS 402 Code and TMS 602 Specification. Subsequent chapters illustrate fundamental design concepts and demonstrate how to apply Code provisions to structural design of common masonry members. The MDG-2022 also includes discussion on masonry provisions in the 2024 International Building Code (IBC) and its examples are based on ASCE /SEI 7-22.
More than 150 design examples included discuss concrete and clay masonry, autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) masonry, prestressed masonry, glass unit masonry and more. The final three chapters of the book include 60+ comprehensive design examples for three common masonry buildings (Chapters 19-21).
Brand new examples added to this edition deal with GFRP reinforced masonry, veneer, anchor bolts, and more. Read more about the examples and view sample pages at the bottom of this page.
