1 ISBN SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL STANDARD The structural use of masonry Part 2: Structural design and requirements for reinforced and prestressed masonry WARNING To be used in conjunction with SANS Published by Standards South Africa 1 dr lategan road groenkloof private bag x191 pretoria 0001 tel: fax: international code Standards South Africa

2 Table of changes Change No. Date Scope Amdt Amended to update normative references. Amdt Amended to update referenced standards. Foreword This South African standard was approved by National Committee StanSA SC A, Construction standards Cement, lime and concrete, in accordance with procedures of Standards South Africa, in compliance with annex 3 of the WTO/TBT agreement. This document was published in July This document supersedes SANS :2003 (edition 1.1). A vertical line in the margin shows where the text has been technically modified by amendment No. 2. Annexes A, B, C and D form an integral part of this standard. Annex E is for information only.
