Features: This series consists of 8 volumes, all based on the new code, highlighting the key considerations and providing detailed explanations for the differences between the new and old codes in the design process. The writing style is entirely in chart form, organizing seemingly complex engineering data into systematic charts. It offers comprehensive design methods, complete calculation charts, and accurate calculation tables, compiling various materials into one book for easy reference by designers. This book serves as a valuable assistant for design professionals, providing quick access to relevant data, calculation clauses, mandatory regulations, etc. Based on the Code for Design of Masonry Structures GB50003-2001, the main content includes: masonry materials and their mechanical properties, calculation methods for masonry structural members, load-bearing capacity calculations for masonry structures, wall design in mixed-structure buildings, lintels, wall beams, overhanging beams, and structural measures for walls, as well as seismic design for mixed-structure buildings. It also focuses on topics such as reliability adjustment for masonry structures, supplementary provisions for local compression in masonry, and crack prevention measures for masonry structures.
