, ''Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures'' (abbreviated EN 1996 or, informally, EC 6) describes how to design buildings and civil engineering works, or parts thereof, in unreinforced, reinforced, prestressed and confined masonry
Masonry is the craft of building a structure with brick, stone, or similar material, including mortar plastering which are often laid in, bound, and pasted together by mortar (masonry), mortar. The term ''masonry'' can also refer to the buildin ...

EN 1996 deals only with the requirements for resistance, serviceability and durability of masonry structures and is divided into the following parts.
Part 1-1: General - Common rules and rules for buildings
In EN 1996-1-1, the basis for the design of buildings and civil engineering works in masonry is given, which deals with unreinforced masonry and reinforced masonry where the reinforcement is added to provide ductility, strength or improve serviceability.Contents

design
EN 1996-1-2 deals with the design of masonry structures for the accidental situation of fire exposure, and is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1996-1-1, EN 1996-2, 1996-3 and EN 1991-1-2. This part only identifies differences from, or supplements to, normal temperature design and it deals only with passive methods of fire protection. Active methods are not covered.
Part 2: Design, selection of materials and execution of masonry
EN 1996-2 provides the necessary Principles and Application Rules for masonry to be designed and constructed satisfactorily in order to comply with the design assumptions of other parts of EN 1996.Part 3: Simplified calculation methods for unreinforced masonry structures
EN 1996-3 provides simplified calculation methods or simple rules to facilitate the design of particular types of masonry walls.External links
