Hybrid Masonry Design

Hybrid masonry is a structural system that utilizes reinforced masonry walls with a framed structure. The masonry infill can be concrete masonry units, reinforced clay brick, or even reinforced AAC, and frames can be reinforced concrete or structural steel. New structural engineering software has made it an attractive option for engineers today.
