Well-written and carefullyorganized, the book:
* Includes all principal types of masonry materials: brick, stone,fired clay, concrete block, glass block, and more
* Contains information on unreinforced, reinforced, and veneeredconstruction
* Examines key design criteria: dead loads, live loads, lateralloads, structural planning, building code requirements, andperformance measurement
* Features helpful study aids --including exercises and solutions,glossary of terms, bibliography, and detailed appendices.
