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.
Check out our concrete masonry walling FAQs for more information.
The publications below relate to different types of segmental concrete retaining walls - including soil retaining walls, cantilever retaining walls and gravity retaining walls. The manuals are aimed at assisting architects, engineers and builders in the design and construction of concrete block retaining walls.
Information and guides on concrete segmental paving, permeable paving, concrete flag paving and heavy-duty pavements using concrete segmental pavers.
See our range of generic detail drawings that can be used for reference to standard details. These are also included in our MA55 – Concrete Masonry Handbook. For more project-specific details, refer to an engineer.
CMAA’s Guide to Standards and Tolerances is intended to be used by builders and building owners as a convenient reference to the minimum quality of building work expected as prescribed by various Australian Standards
