- Abstract
- This conference was organized to convene people interested in masonry and to present the latest information concerning all facets of masonry. Experience and post-earthquake inspections have indicated a need for new analytical methods. Increased attention to education in masonry design is needed. National standards are necessary for the mechanical and physical properties of materials and for standard testing methods of units and components. The papers presented at this conference focus on the following: research and materials, codes and standards, evaluation and retrofit, lateral loads, construction, quality control, design, energy considerations, and papers of general interest.
