This Handbook provides a complete clause-by-clause guide to the Code and is essential reading for anyone wishing to exploit the cost benefits achieved through the use of masonry both reinforced and prestressed; and includes numerous worked examples; and a model specification. Design charts and interaction curves are included to aid the designer; together with an extensive bibliography. Guidance is given on design procedures for enhancing the lateral load resistance of otherwise unreinforced masonry panels by the incorporation of bed joint reinforcement.

A great sourcebook for period millworkBy Denise KingGreat sourcebook for preservationists; interior designers; students and historic home enthusiasts. Lots of various millworker pieces from balusters to corbels to doors and even some furniture thrown in as well. It also has some great plates of decorated period foyers; etc demonstrating how entire rooms could be put together from selected pieces in the catalogue. Reprinted from the original.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
