- Abstract
- The National Workshop on Earthquake Resistant Masonry Construction provided an exchange of information between researchers and practicing engineers for the purpose of orienting pertinent research toward national needs concerning current problems related to design criteria. These proceedings contain the reports presented by researchers and by users of design criteria, as well as transcripts of the discussions which followed the individual presentations. In addition, the proceedings include recommendations which emanated from working sessions held by five working groups of participants. Technical areas covered by the groups were (1) code requirements, (2) design criteria, (3) mathematical models, (4) test standardization and material properties, and (5) retrofit and repair. The recommendations were derived to identify research which would lead to improved output in each of the technical areas in order to benefit national needs.
