The objective of Masonry 2014 is to
gather and disseminate the latest information on all aspects of the innovations
in masonry materials, design, specification, construction, maintenance and
rehabilitation. It will emphasize the application of ASTM standards to those
areas, and their coordination with building codes, project specifications and
international standards.
Papers are sought on the following
topics: anchors and ties; building codes; cements (portland, blended,
hydraulic, masonry, plastic); flexural bond strength; limes (hydrated,
hydraulic, putty); masonry inspection; mortars; plastic/stucco; structural
masonry; sustainability; veneers; water penetration and more. See the full list
of topics at www.astm.org/C07callforpapers.
To
participate in the symposium, presenters/authors must submit a 250-300 word
preliminary abstract at www.astm.org/C07callforpapers by April 4, 2013. The abstract must
include a clear definition of the objective and approach of the work discussed,
pointing out material that is new, and present sufficient details regarding
results. The presentation and manuscript must not be of a commercial nature nor
can it have been previously published. The symposium chairman will notify you
via postal mail by June 1, 2013, of your paper's acceptability for presentation
at the symposium.
Symposium
presenters are required to submit their papers to the Selected Technical Paper (STP), an online and printed,
peer-reviewed publication for the international scientific and engineering
community. Manuscripts to be peer reviewed for the STP are due online no later
than Sept. 8, 2013.
