Summary
The Masonry Structures course introduces the Eurocode 6 which is the European standard for design of masonry structures. Students learn how to design and assess the masonry subjected to compression, shear and bending, using both general and simplified calculation methods. They also learn about vertical and horizontal structures and reinforced masonry. The course also covers execution of masonry according to EC6, detailing or serviceability limit state. Failures and repairs of masonry are also included in this course.
Compulsory literature:
- Eurocode 6 – Design of masonry structures – Part 1-1: General rules for reinforced and unreinforced structures, CEN 2013.
- Ambrose, J.: Simplified Design of Masonry Structures (1991).
Recommended literature:
- EN 1996-2 Eurocode 6 – Design of masonry structures – Part 2: Design, selection of materials and execution of masonry.
- EN 1996-3 Eurocode 6 – Design of masonry structures – Part 3: Simplified calculation methods for unreinforced masonry structures.
- Ambrose, J.: Simplified Design of Masonry Structures (1991).
