This series of topic sheets describe several elements of masonry construction whose proper execution contributes to a functional installation. They will be most useful to the individual who may be a new member to a masonry construction team and unfamiliar with masonry requirements, details, and processes. They are intended to be used at preconstruction or progress meetings as a means to encourage communication between contractors, designers, inspectors, and other team members to help assure that the installation is consistent with contract documents.
These topic sheets are not intended to replace specifications or become part of the contract documents.

TMS 402/602-16 Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures contains two standards and their commentaries: Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (TMS 402-16) and Specification for Masonry Structures (TMS 602-16). The Standards are written as legal documents so that they may be adopted by reference in building codes.
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 commentaries present background details, Committee considerations, and research data used to develop the standards. The commentaries are not mandatory and are for information of the user only. The 2018 IBC (International Building Code) references the 2016 TMS 402 and TMS 602 for the design and construction of structural masonry, veneer, and glass unit masonry, and it uses the quality assurance provisions from TMS 602 for masonry inspection.
The standards were previously developed through the Masonry Standards Joint Committee (MSJC) and were formerly designated as TMS 402/ACI 530/ASCE 5 and TMS 602/ACI 530.1/ASCE 6.
