The Concrete Masonry Handbook serves as a comprehensive resource for architects, engineers, builders, and designers engaged in concrete masonry construction. To enhance accessibility, the content has been divided into distinct sections, each addressing critical aspects of concrete masonry design and construction.
CMAA’s Manuals and documents in this section relate to concrete blocks and concrete masonry walling. Manual 55 Design and Construction of Concrete Masonry Buildings is a comprehensive guide aimed at assisting engineers, architects and builders with the design and construction of concrete masonry walls in accordance with relevant Australian Standards.
