Bases for design of structures - Serviceability of buildings against vibration
This standard gives recommendations on the serviceability of buildings against vibrations. It covers three recipients of vibrations: a) human occupancy in buildings and on pedestrian bridges; b) the contents of the building; c) the structure of the building. It applies to buildings, pedestrian bridges and walkways found within buildings or connecting them and does not include bridges that carry vehicular traffic, nor the design of foundations or supporting structures of machinery.

Specification for Load and non-load bearing concrete masonry units
1.1 This
specification covers hollow and solid (see 5.3 and 5.4) concrete
masonry units made from hydraulic cement, water, and mineral aggregates with or
without the inclusion of other materials. There are three classes of concrete
masonry units: Normal Weight, Medium Weight, and Lightweight. These units are
suitable for both load bearing and non-load bearing applications. This standard
covers hollow blocks from sizes of 3 in. (76.2 mm) to 8 in. (203.2 mm).
1.2 Concrete masonry units covered by this specification are made from lightweight or normal weight aggregates, or both.

Specification for non-load bearing masonry concrete units
This standard specifies requirements for hollow non-load-bearing concrete masonry units made from portland cement, water and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of other materials. It covers three weight classifications of the concrete masonry units: (a) Normal weight; (b) Medium weight; and (c) Light weight. It also covers the sampling and testing of hollow non-load-bearing concrete masonry units for compressive strength, absorption, weight, moisture content and dimensions. It does not cover blocks intended solely for decorative purposes.
