Full title and description

SP 15.13330.2020 — Svod pravil (Code of Practice) "Каменные и армокаменные конструкции" / "Masonry and reinforced masonry structures". The document updates and systematizes rules for design, calculation and construction of masonry and reinforced masonry (stone and brick) structures in the Russian Federation; it is published as SP 15.13330.2020 and implemented by order of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation.

Abstract

SP 15.13330.2020 (SNiP II-22-81*) provides technical requirements and calculation rules for masonry and reinforced masonry elements and entire structures. It covers material properties, classification of masonry, design and detailing of masonry and reinforcement, rules for bearing of beams and slabs on masonry, durability and frost-resistance requirements, load combinations and limit states applicable to masonry, and construction/inspection notes. The edition entered into force on 1 July 2021 and has received at least one formal amendment (Amendment No.1 / Rev.1 in 2023).

Scope

Applies to the design, calculation, selection of materials, detailing and construction of masonry and reinforced masonry structures (brick, stone, large-format blocks, autoclaved aerated concrete and similar masonry units) for buildings and structures. The scope includes structural behaviour (strength and stability), durability and frost-resistance requirements, rules for openings and reinforcements, bearing conditions (beams/slabs on walls), and requirements for inspection, repair and quality control when working with masonry in Russian practice. The document replaces earlier SP/SNiP provisions on masonry (previous edition SP 15.13330.2012 / SNiP II-22-81*).

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of masonry types and groups, and corresponding material and mortar strength requirements.
• Design rules for limit states (ultimate and serviceability) specific to masonry and reinforced masonry.
• Rules for reinforcement and anchorage in masonry — layout, spacing, and detailing of vertical and horizontal reinforcement.
• Requirements for bearing of beams and slabs on masonry supports (local strength checks and bearing stress limits).
• Durability and frost-resistance criteria for masonry materials and guidance on use of modern masonry products (including updates affecting use of autoclaved aerated concrete in wet environments via the 2021/2023 updates).
• Load combinations, seismic considerations where applicable, and interaction rules for masonry elements under bending, shear and axial loads.
• Construction, inspection, testing and repair recommendations; references to related SP/SNiP documents and amendments that affect masonry design practice in Russia.

Typical use and users

Used by structural engineers, designers, architects, construction companies, code compliance officers and material manufacturers working on building projects in the Russian Federation (or projects specifying Russian practice). It is the primary national reference for calculation and detailing of masonry and reinforced masonry structures and for regulatory compliance on projects built to Russian codes.

Related standards

Replaces/updates earlier SP/SNiP documents for masonry (e.g., SP 15.13330.2012 and the historic SNiP II-22-81* set). It is connected to other SP documents governing structural design (for example SP documents on steel and concrete structures) and to documents on fire protection, materials testing and seismic design that interact with masonry rules. Amendment documents (e.g., Amendment No.1 / Rev.1, 2023) and other SPs referenced in СП 15.13330.2020 should be consulted for cross-referenced requirements.
