This major handbook covers the structural use of brick and
blockwork. A major feature is a series of step-by-step design
examples of typical elements and buildings.

The book has been revised to include updates to the code of
practice BS 5628:2000-2 and the 2004 version of Part A of the
Building Regulations. New information on sustainability issues,
innovation in masonry, health and safety issues and technical
developments has been added.
