MASONRY RESEARCH
continued from page 9
from 1830 through 1982. It is a project that the Research Foundation funded in whole with the Centre for Research and Development in Masonry, at Calgary, University of Alberta, Canada. What we expect to have is a title bibliography of all of the research materials, books, pamphlets, and reports on masonry for the last 150 years and an annotated version of the same, which can be pulled off the computer by author, title, or category, and which we also hope to have published as a printed document.
Finally, on a subject which may be dear to many of you, the Research Foundation has set aside $12,000 to help get the ACI/ASCE masonry code, which is nearing completion, to be put in proper code language. It is anticipated that that project will be completed by April of this year. Not too long after that we expect to see a new masonry code put out to the appropriate bodies for approval.
In conclusion, and, as I mentioned in the beginning. MRF is celebrating a fourth-year anniversary and so am I. This is the fourth year that I've been associated with the Research Foundation and with the BAC. Masonry has come a long way in research, but we have a tremendous distance yet to go in order to fill our proper place in today's construction industry. But I am confident that with your continuing cooperation and good guidance and advice, we're going to get there.
Keep Swinging
A spert-writer just walked in and left this one: the prizefighter staggered back to his corner after taking a terrific beating for seven rounds. "Don't give up now." his manager whispered in his ear. "You've got a no-hitter going."
