ACI 530/530.1-13, “Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures and Companion Commentaries,” is a joint document between ACI, The Masonry Society (TMS), and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

This Specification for Masonry Structures (ACI 530.1-02/ASCE 6-02/TMS 602-02) is written as a master specification and is required by the Code to control materials, labor, and construction. Thus, this Specification covers minimum construction requirements for masonry in structures.

Requirements for Masonry Structures (ACI 530/ASCE 5/TMS 402) and the Specification for Masonry Structures (ACI 530.1/ASCE 6/TMS 602). They were developed to consolidate and advance existing standards for the design and construction of masonry.

Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures contains two standards and their commentaries: Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (TMS 402-13/ACI 530-13/ASCE 5-13) and Specification for Masonry Structures (TMS 602-13/ACI 530.1-13/ASCE 6 …

Jan 1, 2005 · These test methods evaluate the flexural bond strength, normal to the bed joints, of masonry built of manufactured masonry units. Sampling and testing procedures are referenced, and terms are... This specification designates standard tolerances for concrete construction. The indicated tolerances govern unless otherwise specified.

The Masonry Standards Joint Committee’s (MSJC) 2011 Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures (TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5 and TMS 602/ACI 530.1/ASCE 6) and Commentaries are referenced by the 2012 International Building Code (IBC).

Specification for Masonry Structures (TMS 602-11/ACI 530.1-11/ASCE 6-11) Chapter 1 General Design Requirements for Masonry. 1.1 Scope. 1.1.1 Minimum requirements. 1.1.2 Governing building code. 1.1.3 Design procedures. 1.1.4 SI equivalents. 1.2 Contract documents and calculations. 1.3 Approval of special systems of design or construction.

ACI 530.1/ASCE 6/TMS 602 Specification sets minimum construction requirements regarding the materials used in and the erection of masonry structures. Specifications are written to set minimum acceptable levels of performance for the contractor. This commentary is directed to the architect/engineer writing the project specifications.

about ACI 530/ASCE 5 The new code and specification require inspection of masonry work and more detail on project drawings By Mario J. Catani A contractor must show that his masonry work meets the compressive strength specified by the designer. He can do this by using the unit strength method: Based
