Masonry Design for Disproportionate Collapse
Revised Building Regulations for England & Wales, related, in part, to the structural design of buildings to resist accidental damage, have recently been published together with the relevant Approved Document giving guidance on accidental damage design. Although the changes are not quite so far reaching as they appear to be at first sight, they do have implications for the design of traditional masonry buildings. This Technical Note gives guidance on the design of masonry structures to be in accordance with the new disproportionate collapse requirements of the Regulations.

Introduction to Eurocode 6
The introduction of European standards to UK construction is a significant event. The ten design standards, known as the Eurocodes, will affect all design and construction activities as current British standards for design are due to be withdrawn in March 2010. This publication is part of a series of three guides entitled How to design masonry structures using Eurocode 6. The aim is to make the transition to Eurocode 6, Design of masonry structures as easy as possible by drawing together in one place key information and commentary required for the design of typical masonry elements.
Eurocode 6 - Vertical Resistance
This guide is the second in a series of three giving guidance on the design of masonry structures to Eurocode 61. The first guide, Introduction to Eurocode 6 gives an introduction to design and assessment of actions using Eurocode 6 and also covers the specification and execution (workmanship) of masonry. This guide explains how to design for vertical actions and determine vertical resistance. Throughout this guide the Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs) from the UK National Annexes (NAs) have been used. These enable Eurocode 6 to be applied in the UK.
Eurocode 6 - Lateral Resistance
This guide is the third in a series of three giving guidance on the design of masonry structures to Eurocode 61. The first guide, Introduction to Eurocode 6 gives an introduction to design and assessment of actions using Eurocode 6 and also covers the specification and workmanship of masonry. The second guide in the series covers the design of vertically loaded masonry. This guide explains how to design for horizontal actions. Throughout this guide the Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs) from the UK National Annexes (NAs) have been used. These enable Eurocode 6 to be applied in the UK.
Accidental Damage, Robustness & Stability
An explanation of the provisions contained in BS 5628: Part 1 - The Structural Use of Masonry and in particular with Section 5 of the code which gives detailed recommendations for controlling and limiting accidental damage. The subject is comprehensively covered to give readers a full understanding of what the code recommends and why.
