Features: This book is based on the "Unified Standard for the Design of Building Structures" (GBJ68-84) as the criterion and various newly issued codes such as the "Code for Design of Masonry Structures" as the reference. It introduces the design methods, structural measures, and application examples of common special structures and irregular components in masonry structure design, as well as detailed solutions to difficult problems in masonry structure design. Chapter 1 systematically and concisely introduces the main types of masonry structures, the basic content and technical specifications of design, and the fundamental design methods for special masonry structures; Chapter 2 covers the design of composite and irregular components, including reinforced brick masonry members, wall beams, cantilevered components, and structural designs of various types of stairs; Chapter 3 focuses on the design of masonry structures, introducing methods for designing brick chimneys, masonry water tanks, gravity masonry retaining walls, and underground structure designs; Chapter 4 discusses the design of complex masonry structures, covering widely used types such as the structural design of multi-story brick buildings with flexible upper and rigid lower stories, seismic design of multi-story masonry buildings, seismic design of multi-story interior-frame brick buildings, seismic design of single-story open-plan brick buildings with ground-floor frame structures, and other related content; Chapter 5 introduces the renovation and retrofitting of existing masonry buildings, providing detailed explanations of quality assessment, testing methods, repair techniques, strengthening design, and retrofitting plans for old masonry structures.
