砌体结构的建筑规范要求和规范包含两个标准及其注释:砌体结构的建筑规范要求（ACI 530-13）和砌体结构规范（ACI 530.1-13）。这些标准是由砌体学会（TMS）、美国混凝土学会（ACI）和美国土木工程师学会（SEI/ASCE）结构工程学会（MSJC）通过砌体标准联合委员会（MSJC）共同制定的。本规范涵盖砌体结构的设计和施工，而本规范涉及结构中砌体的最低施工要求。 该准则涵盖的一些主题包括:定义、合同文件；质量保证材料；埋件的放置；分析与设计；强度和适用性；弯曲和轴向荷载；剪羊毛加固的细节和发展；墙壁；柱；壁柱；横梁和过梁；抗震设计要求；玻璃砌块砌体；贴面；以及蒸压加气混凝土砌体。还包括适用于满足特定位置和施工标准的建筑物的经验设计方法和规定方法。该规范涵盖的主题包括材料的质量保证要求； 砌体的铺设、粘结和锚固；以及灌浆和钢筋的铺设。本规范将在项目手册中修改和引用。本规范为法律文件，本规范为本规范要求的主规范。注释提供了用于开发代码和规范的背景细节、委员会考虑事项和研究数据。评论不是强制性的，仅供用户参考。

Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures contains two standards and their commentaries: Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (ACI 530-13) and Specification for Masonry Structures (ACI 530.1-13). These standards are produced through the joint efforts of The Masonry Society (TMS), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (SEI/ASCE) through the Masonry Standards Joint Committee (MSJC).The Code covers the design and construction of masonry structures while the Specification is concerned with minimum construction requirements for masonry in structures. Some of the topics covered in the Code are: definitions, contract documents; quality assurance; materials; placement of embedded items; analysis and design; strength and serviceability; flexural and axial loads; shear; details and development of reinforcement; walls; columns; pilasters; beams and lintels; seismic design requirements; glass unit masonry; veneers; and autoclaved aerated concrete masonry. An empirical design method and a prescriptive method applicable to buildings meeting specific location and construction criteria are also included.The Specification covers subjects such as quality assurance requirements for materials; the placing, bonding and anchoring of masonry; and the placement of grout and of reinforcement. This Specification is meant to be modified and referenced in the Project Manual. The Code is written as a legal document and the Specification as a master specification required by the Code.The commentaries present background details, committee considerations, and research data used to develop the Code and Specification. The Commentaries are not mandatory and are for information of the user only.
