The Fourth North American Masonry Conference

在美国和世界范围内，砖石建筑占建筑建筑的很大一部分。由于配筋砌体结构具有明显的经济性、防火安全性、建筑灵活性和施工简便性等特点，在中高地震区的应用日益广泛。这项研究项目是为了部分赞助第四届北美砖石会议。会议的目的是交流在砖石建筑方面的概念、研究、信息和经验。它将为国内和国际知名专家提供一个交流思想和研究的论坛。将出版一份会议记录形式的技术传播文件。首席调查员非常有资格进行这项研究。该机构为这个为期12个月的完整项目提供了极好的支持设施。

Masonry construction comprises a large portion of building construction in the U.S. and the world. Reinforced masonry construction use is increasing in moderate to higher seismic zones because of its apparent features of economy, fire safety, architectural flexibility and ease of construction. This research project is to partially sponsor the Fourth North American Masonry Conference. The objective of the conference is to provide for the exchange of concepts, research, information, and experiences in masonry construction. It will provide a forum for nationally and internationally known experts to exchange ideas and research. A technical dissemination document in the form of Conference proceedings will be published. The principal investigator is highly qualified to conduct this research. The institution provides excellent support facilities for this twelve- month complete project.
