TMS 402/602 Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures contains two standards and their commentaries: Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (TMS 402) and Specification for Masonry Structures (TMS 602).
AS 3700, also known as the Masonry Structures Standard, is a comprehensive set of guidelines that outline the design and construction requirements for masonry structures. These standards ensure that masonry structures are built to withstand various environmental and load conditions, ensuring their longevity and safety.
The Code (TMS 402) covers the design and construction of masonry structures while the Specification (TMS 602) is concerned with minimum construction requirements for masonry in structures. The new 2022 edition has been updated throughout for new referenced standards, including ASCE/SEI 7-22 and numerous ASTM Standards.

IS 456 is the Indian standard for the design of plain and reinforced concrete structures. It was first published in 1953 and revised in 2000. It covers the general principles, materials, loads, structural analysis, design methods, and detailing of concrete structures.
Masonry has both structural and non-structural applications. Structural applications include walls, columns, beams, foundations, load-bearing arches, and others. On the other hand, masonry is also used in non-structural applications such as fireplaces chimneys and veneer systems.
Structural coding is an analysis process that orients unstructured data around your research questions. This first-cycle method helps organize oversized datasets by coding large chunks of data at a time, making it particularly useful for handling piles of interview transcripts.
Control Joint Spacing and Locations
Typically, control joints in concrete masonry unit walls are installed at approximately 25 ft.
