MDG4-03
Masonry Designers' Guide, Fourth Edition
2003, 614 pp.
OUT OF PRINT

Published by: The Masonry Society

The best guide on designing has been completely updated to comply with the provisions of the 2002 Building Code Requirements of Masonry Structures (ACI 530-02) and Specifications for Masonry Structures (ACI 530.1-02), which are referenced by the 2003 International Building Code and the NFPA 5000.

Topics covered in the guide include masonry materials, testing, quality assurance, quality control, construction methods, structural design, and seismic detailing requirements. Major revisions include:

- The incorporation of strength design into the discussions and examples;

- A detailed discussion on new prescriptive seismic provisions for masonry;

- Revised cold- and hot-weather construction requirements; and

- Updates to the entire MDG to highlight new changes in the 2002 MSJC.

As a bonus feature, you will also receive the MDG-4 in CD-ROM format, allowing you to easily search and find keywords. MDG-4 is a valuable reference tool for engineers, contractors, architects, inspectors, building code officials, and educators.
