History and Developments of Structural Masonry

Introduction consists of structural units bonded together with mortar or grout. It is traditionally used for wall construction. Reinforcement, if any, has been placed in bedding joints over openings or in courses to reduce potential cracking in walls. Its main function is to limit deflections and deformations (at serviceability state loads). we will refer to the attached Concrete Masonry Manual (8th Ed 2007 Published by Concrete Manufacturers Association) for core course notes. Regulations & Codes Structural design requirements are outlined in: SANS10400: Code of Practice for the Application of The National Building Regulations (Parts H: Foundations & K: Walls) SANS10160: Code of Practice for The general procedures and loadings to be adopted in the design of buildings SANS10164 :Code of Practice (Part1-Unreinforced Masonry & Part2 - Reinforced Masonry) Concrete Masonry Manual (8th Ed 2007 Published by Concrete Manufacturers Association) -see attachment, which we will refer to in this course.
