ASTM Int’l Masonry Session Set

The session offers a dialogue on all aspects of masonry, including innovations in materials, design, specification, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation. It will also emphasize the application of ASTM standards, and coordination with building codes, project specifications and international standards.

Designers, specifiers, builders, material suppliers, researchers and forensic engineers will find valuable information at the symposium in terms of building new structures, evaluating and rehabilitating existing ones, and ensuring quality masonry construction in general.

Sponsored by ASTM’s international commitees on cement (CO1), lime (CO7), unit masonry (C12) and manufactured masonry units (C15), the conference will be held in conjunction with the June 8-11 standards-development meetings of the committees.

Online registration opens approximately eight weeks before the symposium and closes June 2. Go here for more information.
