Features: This book combines the newly revised "Code for Design of Masonry Structures" GB50003-2001, introducing the development of modern masonry structures, correctly understanding the basis for the revision of new code provisions and their application in engineering. It focuses on the adjustment of reliability for masonry structures, supplementary provisions for local compression of masonry, crack prevention measures for masonry structures, design and calculation methods for high-rise structures using reinforced masonry block walls, simplified calculations for continuous frame-supported wall beams, and seismic design of masonry structural components. Throughout the book, the national policies of "saving soil," "saving energy," and "utilizing waste" are reflected, highlighting the introduction of concrete small hollow block—a highly competitive new wall material. Comparative analyses of the pre-revision and post-revision code provisions are conducted for several key sections. Design and calculation examples are provided in some chapters to further deepen the understanding of the new code.
