16 Reinforced Concrete Masonry Construction Inspector's Handbook MASONRY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA The Masonry Institute of America, founded in 1957 under the name of Masonry Research, is a promotional, technical research organization established to improve and extend the use of masonry. The Masonry Institute of America is supported by the California masonry contractors through labor agreement contracts between the unions and contractors. The Masonry Institute of America is active in California and throughout the United States promoting new ideas and masonry work, improving national and local building codes, conducting research projects, presenting design, construction and inspection seminars and writing technical and non-technical papers, all for the purpose of improving the masonry industry. The Masonry Institute of America does not engage in the practice of architectural or engineering design or construction nor does it sell masonry materials. xvi

17 International Code Council INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL The International Code Council (ICC) was established in 1994 as a non-profit organization dedicated to developing a single set of comprehensive and coordinated national model construction codes. The founders of the ICC are Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA), International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), and Southern Building Code Congress International, Inc. (SBCCI). Since the early part of the last century, these non-profit organizations developed three separate sets of model codes used throughout the United States. Although regional code development has been effective and responsive to our country s needs, the time came for a single set of codes. The nation s three model code groups responded by creating the International Code Council and by developing codes without regional limitations; the International Codes. The ICC has developed and made available an impressive inventory of comprehensive and coordinated International Codes, including: International Building Code International Residential Code for One- and Two- Family Dwellings International Fire Code International Energy Conservation Code International Plumbing Code International Private Sewage Disposal Code International Mechanical Code International Fuel Gas Code International Wildland-Urban Interface Code International Existing Building Code ICC Performance Code for Buildings and Facilities International Property Maintenance Code xvii

18 Reinforced Concrete Masonry Construction Inspector's Handbook International Zoning Code International Green Construction Code TM International Swimming Pool and Spa Code TM The International Code Council offers unmatched technical, educational and informational products and services in support of the International Codes, with more than 250 highly qualified staff members at 16 offices throughout the United States and in Latin America. Some of the products and services readily available to code users include: Code application assistance Educational programs Certification programs Technical handbooks and workbooks Plan review Automated products Monthly magazines and newsletters Publication of proposed code changes Training and informational videos xviii

19 Masonry Standards Joint Committee MASONRY STANDARDS JOINT COMMITTEE The Masonry Standards Joint Committee (MSJC) is an organization comprised of volunteers who through background, use, and education have established experience in the manufacturing of masonry units and materials and the design and construction of masonry structures. Working under its three sponsoring organizations, The Masonry Society (TMS), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) the Committee has been charged with developing and maintaining consensus standards suitable for adoption into model building codes. Since The Masonry Society has received ANSI accreditation, TMS has become the lead sponsor in the production of the MSJC Code and Specification. In the pursuit of its goals, Committee activities include: 1. Evaluate and ballot proposed changes to existing standards of the Committee. 2. Develop and ballot new standards for masonry. 3. Resolve negative votes from ballot items. 4. Identify areas of needed research. 5. Monitor international standards In this publication the term MSJC Code refers to Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (TMS /ACI /ASCE 5-11) and the term MSJC Specification refers to Specification for Masonry Structures (TMS /ACI /ASCE 6-11). xix

20 Reinforced Concrete Masonry Construction Inspector's Handbook Advancing the knowledge of masonry THE MASONRY SOCIETY The Masonry Society (TMS), founded in 1977, is an international gathering of people interested in masonry. It is a professional, technical, and educational association dedicated to the advancement of knowledge on masonry. TMS members are design engineers, architects, builders, researchers, educators, building officials, material suppliers, manufacturers, and others who want to contribute to and benefit from the global pool of knowledge on masonry. AMERICAN CONCRETE INSTITUTE The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is a nonprofit technical and educational society founded in 1904 with 99 chapters and 20,000 members spanning 108 countries. As ACI moves into its second century of progress through knowledge, it has retained the same basic mission: Provide knowledge and information for the best use of concrete. AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) was founded in 1852 and currently represents 140,000 members of the civil engineering profession worldwide and is America s oldest national engineering society. ASCE s vision is to position engineers as industry leaders building a better quality of life. To provide essential value to members, their careers, partners and the public, ASCE develops leadership, advances technology, advocates lifelong learning, and promotes the profession. xx
