Publisher's Synopsis
Renewed interest in all forms of masonry as structural material has resulted in the Code of Practice BS 5628, which enables the designer to take a rational approach to the use of concrete masonry. This Handbook covers the design of concrete masonry, including many aspects not covered in Code and provides an insight into those other aspects of masonry performance to which the designer may need to give consideration. As such this is the first comprehensive guide for the designer, structural engineer, arhcitect and materials technologist, intending to use concrete masonry construction techniques.
