Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook Concrete Clay 1992 Book Errata Vtg For Sale

• This is the sought-after fifth edition hardcover reference Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook: Clay and Concrete Masonry by civil and structural engineer James E Amrhein, published by the Masonry Institute of America.
• Conceived as a comprehensive reinforced masonry design manual, the book compiles coefficients, tables, charts, and design data needed for masonry structures, aiming to reduce repetitive calculations and streamline engineering work.
• The preface explains that allowable stresses, detailing, and design requirements are based on the 1991 Uniform Building Code of the International Conference of Building Officials, with additional information and design tables derived from the ACI 530-88/ASCE 5-88 masonry code and specifications.
• Front matter includes a description of the Masonry Institute of America, a detailed biography of the author, acknowledgments, and special recognitions, outlining Amrhein\'s professional background in civil and structural engineering and his role in masonry research and practice.
• Section 1 covers materials, including masonry units in clay and concrete, mortar types and materials, grout, grouting procedures, and reinforcing steel, while also discussing mixing, grouting methods, grout strength requirements, and questions and problems for practice.
• Subsequent sections examine the strength of masonry assemblies, loads, distribution and analysis of lateral forces, and the design of structural members using both working stress design and strength design approaches, with derivations of formulas, stress calculations, and behavior discussions.
• Further chapters present details of reinforcing steel, building details, special topics such as movement joints and rehabilitating masonry structures, an extensive set of formulas for reinforced masonry design, and complete design examples for a one-story industrial building and a seven-story masonry load-bearing wall apartment building.
• Illustrated throughout with black and white photographs, diagrams, cross sections, floor plans, charts, and numerous design tables, the handbook functions as a practical field and office reference for civil and structural engineers, architects, building officials, and advanced engineering students working with reinforced masonry.
• Bibliographic information on the copyright page lists copyright years 1972, 1973, 1978, 1983, and 1992, Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 91-66432, and identifies the publisher as Masonry Institute of America, Los Angeles, California, printed in the United States of America, with ISBN: 0-940116-20-0.
• A separate Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook, 5th Edition errata sheet dated October 1992 with page-by-page corrections is included as a laid-in supplement.

• Condition: This substantial green hardcover remains a solid, usable engineering reference with a square, secure binding. The boards show surface rubs with a small patch of finish loss and bumping at the upper front edge near the spine, along with light corner and edge smudging near the bottom of the exterior spine. Interior pages in sections examined are clean and bright, with formulas, diagrams, tables, and photographs all sharp and fully legible for continued professional use; a previous owner\'s name and date are written in ink on the front free endpaper. The original Masonry Institute of America October 1992 fifth edition errata sheet is present as a laid-in loose insert. The illustrations and text are as crisp and clear as the day this jewel rolled off the press.
