Reinforced Masonry Design

by Walter L. Dickey and Robert R. Schneider

Book Overview

This volume provides an in-depth, state-of-the-art exploration of the entire gamut of modern masonry construction -- properties and performance of masonry materials, design criteria and methods in reinforced masonry, complete design applications for both low and high-rise masonry, and environmental features. This new edition reflects the landmark changes in the philosophy in the 1992 Uniform Building Code (e.g., introduction of Strength Design concepts...

Schneider-Dickey's Reinforced Masonry Design

This book is the bible of reinforced masonry design. It has a fantastic amount of information useful for architects and engineers. I was somewhat disappointed to find that the book for sale here is actually a reproduction of the original, and is a paperback.
