- Synopsis
- In February 2013, the "Guideline for Reinforcement of Concrete and Masonry Wall Structures" (first published in 1987) was revised under the new title of "Guideline for Reinforcement of Concrete and Masonry Box-shaped wall Structures." The "Guideline for Reinforcement of Concrete and Masonry Box-shaped Wall Structures" is intended as a guide during structural design of the various box-shaped wall structures described in "All Standards for Structural Design of Reinforced Concrete Boxed Wall-Buildings" and "All Standards for Structural Design of Masonry Structures," and for use during reinforcement design. This report explains the main changes in this guideline, which has been revised for the first time in twenty-six years.
