This guide covers the design and construction of dry-stack concrete masonry structures constructed from hollow units. Among the subjects covered are history and background, fire resistance, design, construction, quality assurance, materials, surface-bonding, placement of embedded items, analysis, strength and serviceability, flexural and axial loads, shear, details and development of reinforcement, walls, and seismic design requirements.
Dry-stack masonry construction, which consists of individual masonry units placed without the use of mortar in the head and bed joints, is one of the earliest forms of construction. Despite its historical use, there is little in the way of contemporary design and construction guidance in the United States on the use of dry-stack masonry systems for structural applications. Because the majority of dry-stack research has been limited to reinforced or prestressed concrete masonry construction, the scope of this guide is limited to reinforced or prestressed, dry-stack construction of concrete masonry units.
