Concrete is a composite building material made from the combination of aggregate and cement binder. It is the most commonly used construction material; it’s used to make pavements, building structures, foundations, motorways and roads, overpasses, parking structures, brick/block walls and footings for gates, fences and poles.
BSI standards and publications specify requirements for the constituent materials used in concrete, aggregates and masonry. They also provide guidance for construction industry professionals to ensure appropriate selection of materials and good standards of workmanship in masonry structures.
This part of BS 5628 gives recommendations for the structural design of unreinforced masonry units of bricks, blocks, manufactured stone, square dressed natural stone, and random rubble masonry.
This British Standard covers recommendations on materials, components and workmanship, alternative materials and methods of design and construction, design objectives in general and specific recommendations for the design of unreinforced masonry units and other design considerations.
