Masonry Standards Joint Committee

A variety of masonry standards have been developed to assist with the design, construction and evaluation of masonry. The Masonry Society (TMS) is a professional organization dedicated to the advancement of knowledge on masonry. As part of that mission, TMS maintains this website to provide information on its standards and others. Currently, this website only contains information on a few standards. Eventually TMS hopes to provide information and links for standards by other organizations such as ASTM International, the Brick Industry Association and the National Concrete Masonry Association.

Additional information on these standards, and the committees which are charged with developing and maintaining them is available at the links below or via The Masonry Society's website at www.masonrysociety.org. Likewise, these publications may be ordered by going to TMS's E-store (TMS members are reminded to access the e-store directly from TMS's Members Area in order to receive the best discounts on these standards).
