Description
The Existing Masonry Guidelines (EMG) task group is planning a small group summit in the first quarter of 2024 to generate a first draft of guidelines for existing masonry, written in mandatory language. This draft will be submitted to the Existing Masonry Committee and subject to a rigorous balloting and public comment process following TMS rules. If supported, this document will become a mandatory language standard for Existing Masonry, similar to TMS 402/602 for new construction and ACI 562 for existing concrete. Expenses for the summit are budgeted at more than $40,000, which includes costs associated with travel, lodging, meals, and administrative and coordinator support. Your financial assistance towards this effort will help this important project move forward.
