The Council for Masonry Research has
prepared documents designed to support the researcher,
code developer, designer and representatives of the
masonry industry. Selected documents are currently made
available through this online service. Additional
documents will be made available from time to time and as
new developments create the need for timely distribution
of information.
Since the documents are best
provided in a full graphical and text presentation CMR
has selected to provide the information as a .PDF
file. If you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader you may open
the file online, peruse the information and print part or
all of the document to your printer. If you would rather
have the file on your system for later retrieval, you may
select to download the file.

CMR Report
is newsletter distributed periodically to
researchers, code developers, designers, and
representatives of the masonry industry. The newsletter
features current masonry research activities as well as
the application of research into practice through
enhancements in design practices and masonry codes and
standards.
Research Needs of
Masonry Materials and Systems is
maintained by CMR
which categorizes the research priorities of the
masonry industry. The Research Needs document includes
project descriptions, recommended approach, and benefits
for specific research projects.
