On March 31st 2020 the UK masonry design code, BS 5628 [1-3], was withdrawn leaving BS EN 1996 (Eurocode 6) [4-7] and the associated National Annexes [8-11] as the structural masonry code for the UK. BS 5628 was the first limit state design code for masonry in the world when it was introduced in 1978 and allowed efficient use of both slender walls and low strength units. Eurocode 6 has brought together from the participating countries input from a wide spectrum of designers including those from countries where thicker masonry walls are normally used. This paper examines the effect of some of the change in the design code on the potential use of autoclaved aerated concrete and identifies areas of the Eurocode that need further consideration and development.
