    ACI-TMS CODE 122.2-24 Thermal Properties of Concrete and Masonry for Use in Determining Energy Code Compliance for Low-Rise Residential Buildings — Download Version

    $99.00

    This Code prescribes minimum design and construction requirements for energy efficiency of building envelopes of new buildings and additions to buildings. It applies to buildings having concrete walls, roofs, or floors; masonry walls; and masonry veneer, including veneer attached to frame walls as part of the building envelope. It also provides minimum thermal properties for these assemblies for code compliance. This Code is applicable to low-rise residential buildings that use either electricity from any generation source or fossil fuel. It can be used with applicable energy codes and standards such as the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).

  • ACI-TMS CODE 122.1-21 Thermal Bridge Mitigation for Buildings Having Concrete and Masonry Walls and Masonry Veneer — Download Version

    ACI-TMS CODE 122.1-21 Thermal Bridge Mitigation for Buildings Having Concrete and Masonry Walls and Masonry Veneer — Download Version

    $99.00

    This code prescribes minimum design and construction requirements for mitigating thermal bridges in the building envelopes of new buildings and additions to existing buildings. It applies to buildings having concrete or masonry walls; masonry veneer, including veneer attached to frame walls; and balconies or components that extend through the building envelope. It also has criteria for metal thermal bridges in these buildings.

    This code is applicable to commercial and mid- to high-rise residential buildings that use either electricity or fossil fuel (regardless of the generation source). It can be used with applicable energy codes and standards.

  • ACI-TMS CODE 216.1-14 Code Requirements for Determining Fire Resistance of Concrete and Masonry Construction Assemblies — Download Version

    ACI-TMS CODE 216.1-14 Code Requirements for Determining Fire Resistance of Concrete and Masonry Construction Assemblies — Download Version

    $71.50

    Fire resistance of building elements is an important consideration in building design. While structural design considerations for concrete and masonry at ambient temperature conditions are addressed by ACI 318 and TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5, respectively, these codes do not consider the impact of fire on concrete and masonry construction. This standard contains design and analytical procedures for determining the fire resistance of concrete and masonry members and building assemblies. Where differences occur in specific design requirements between this standard and ACI 318 and TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5, as in the case of cover protection of steel reinforcement, the more stringent of the requirements shall apply.
