Research on Masonry Design and Construction

该项目将允许美国研究人员参加在澳大利亚墨尔本举行的第七届国际砖石会议。参与者是从事砖石设计和实验的研究人员。他们中的大多数人将参加一个美国和日本合作的研究项目，这对他们了解其他研究人员在其他国家做什么是有利的。与其他研究人员的联系将有助于减少重复，并获得相关研究的第一手成果。他们还将更多地了解其他国家的设计和施工实践。美国团队将邀请世界各地的与会者在美国开会，讨论全球采用的砖石建筑的设计标准和规范要求。

This project will permit participation by U.S. researchers in the 7th International Brick Masonry Conference in Melbourne, Australia. The participants are researchers involved with masonry design and experimentation. Most of them will be participating in a U.S./Japan coordinated research project and it is advantageous for them to learn what other researchers are doing in other countries. The association with other researchers will be helpful in reducing duplication and obtaining first-hand the results of related research. They will also learn more about the design and construction practices in other countries. The U.S. team will extend an invitation to the world participants to meet in the United States to discuss design criteria and code requirements for masonry construction for world adoption.
