I'm new in Masonry design and I've been unsing both:
1- Masonry Designer Guide
2- Reinfocing Masonry Engineering Handbook
but i found the second one is more practical to use.
Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook - James E. Amrhein ISBN: 0-8493-7551-7

I did the design like a Panel Wall from window to window taken both half windows as a tributary areas and the panel of 40" wide, but the reviwer told me to design like a Reinforced Masonry element using "Pa" and doing the Equilibrium of Forces in Tension "C" and Compression "C" and I don't...
I'm trying to design reinforcing in a Masonry Wall both sides of opening...How can do that?
The same design of wall or a element under "Axial-Flexure" like a Pilaster.
Thanks

Thanks to everyone, I got PDF Dcoument from Wire Reinforcement Institute, it's interesting but the foundation design is like a grade beam and I'd like to get a footing design with a geometry like a thickened edge slab.
Thanks to Jhon really good explanation, I did a design with a software that...
Anyone knows a method to design a Monolithic Footing (wall footing)integrated to slab on grade for residential structural design.

Thanks, I'll take in consideration both books, I think I'll buy the second ("Design of Reinforced Masonry Structures" by Narendra Taly, Ph.D,P.E.), If you tell me that will be more practical for begginers. I've been seen on Internet these Books of Masonry:
1- "Simplified Design of Masonry...
