Attendance and Travel to Eighth International Brick/Block Masonry Conference

1988年9月19日至21日，一个美国研究人员代表团参加了在爱尔兰的都柏林举行的第八届国际砖/块砌体会议。代表团成员是从提交了论文摘要的研究人员中挑选出来的，这些论文摘要被选中出版和介绍。所有代表团成员也是NSF资助的“美国Massimo建筑研究协调计划（TCCMAR）”的成员。出席会议使研究人员能够参加一个国际论坛，交流砌体信息。代表团接触了来自世界各地的研究人员及其工作，相应地，使其他地方的研究人员了解了美国在砌体材料和结构方面的研究和进展。出席会议有助于美国研究人员与其他地方的研究人员建立沟通和对话。

A delegation of U.S. researchers attended the Eighth International Brick/Block Masonry Conference in Dublin, Ireland, September 19-21, 1988. Members of the delegation were selected from researchers who had submitted abstracts of papers which were selected for publication and presentation. All of the delegation members are also members of the NSF-funded "U.S. Coordinated Program for Masonry Building Research (TCCMAR). Attendance at the conference permitted researchers to participate in an international forum for the exchange of masonry information. The delegation was exposed to researchers from all parts of the world and their work and correspondingly, made researchers elsewhere aware of U.S. research and progress in masonry materials and structures. Attendance at the Conference facilitated establishing communication and dialogue between U.S. researchers and those elsewhere.
