In the 60 pages long manual for the use of European standards for the design of masonry structures, the basic principles and requirements of Eurocode 6 and masonry part of Eurocode 8 are explained. On the basis of the recent experimental and analytical research, inconsistencies of some requirements are discussed and improvements are proposed to avoid the non-realistic estimation of the seismic resistance of masonry buildings. A numerical example of a seismic resistance verification of a multistorey masonry building ia also provided.
