Eurocode 6. Design of masonry structures. Design considerations, selection of materials and execution of masonry
BS EN 1996-2 gives basic rules for the selection of materials and execution of masonry to enable it to comply with the design assumptions of the other parts of Eurocode 6. With a few exceptions this standard deals with the ordinary aspects of masonry design and execution including:
- the selection of masonry materials
- factors affecting the performance and durability of masonry
- resistance of buildings to moisture penetration
- storage, preparation and use of materials on site
- the execution of masonry
- masonry protection during execution.
BS EN 1996-2 supersedes DD ENV 1996-2:1998 which is now withdrawn.
