EN 1996 EUROCODE 6: DESIGN OF MASONRY STRUCTURES

EN 1996 Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures, the first part of which is due to be published next year, relates to buildings and other civil engineering works and covers unreinforced, prestressed and confined masonry. This paper introduces the new design code and reviews the general design rules of the first part. It concludes that design handbooks will almost certainly be needed to help design engineers verify the ultimate limit states of reinforced and prestressed masonry structures. (A) For the covering abstract see ITRD E111460.
