The purpose of the Masonry Designers Guide (MDG) is to assist
those involved in the design, construction, and regulation of masonry
structures. The MDG-5's emphasis remains on how to apply the Building Code
Requirements for Masonry Structures and Specifications for Masonry Structures (ACI
530-05/530.1-05) . This fifth edition of the MDG added a chapter on how to use
the Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures and Specifications for
Masonry Structures Code (ACI 530-05/530.1-05) in typical model code
environments.
This latest edition of the MDG should prove to be a valuable
reference for engineers, contractors, architects, inspectors, building code
authorities, and educators. The initial chapters address materials, testing,
quality assurance, quality control, and construction methods, with reference to
specific provisions of the Code and Specification. Subsequent chapters
illustrate fundamental design concepts, and show how to apply Code Provisions to
the structural design of common masonry elements.
The final three chapters contain over 90 example problems
related to three common masonry buildings. These comprehensive examples address
a wide range of materials (clay masonry, concrete masonry, and autoclaved
aerated concrete masonry) and a wide range of design approaches
(allowable-stress design, strength design, and empirical design)
The MDG includes a CD-ROM, allowing you to easily search and
