Design of Structural Masonry
Existing design textbooks for undergraduate engineering students neglect, to a large extent, the importance of masonry as a structural building material. As a Consequence, relatively few textbooks provide information on the design of masonry structures.
Design of Structural Masonry has therefore been written to:
- provide a comprehensive source of information on practical masonry design,
- introduce the nature and inherent characteristics of masonry given in relation to the requirements of BS 5628,
- introduce the use of Eurocode EC6 in structural masonry design.
The book’s content ranges from an introduction to masonry as a material to the design of realistic structures including and beyond that usually considered essential for undergraduate study.
Readership
Design of Structural Masonry is written primarily for undergraduate civil and structural engineers. The book will also provide an invaluable reference source for practising engineers in many building, civil and architectural design offices. Worked Examples and Review Problems The design of structures/elements is explained and illustrated using numerous detailed, relevant and practical worked examples. These design examples are presented in a format typical of that used in design office practice in order to encourage students to adopt a methodical and rational approach when preparing structural calculations.
Review problems are included at the end of each chapter to allow the reader to test his/her understanding of the material; references are given to the relevant sections in the preceding chapter.
Design Codes
It is essential when undertaking structural design to make frequent reference to the appropriate design codes. Students are encouraged to do this whilst using this text. It is assumed that readers will have access to either Extracts from British Standards for Students of Structural Design (which is a standard text in virtually all undergraduate structural design courses) or the complete versions of the necessary codes, with the exception of the Eurocode EC6. In Chapter 6 where EC6 is discussed, appropriate extracts from the code are given to illustrate where variables, etc., have been obtained.
