NCPTT

he main objective of this research project is to better understand the failure strength and the modes of failure of different types of mechanical anchor systems in stone masonry.

The assessment of unreinforced masonry structures is difficult to undertake in practice.

NCPTT is developing better strategies for the removal of graffiti from brick masonry buildings.

More than $165,000 will fund research to protect America’s historic legacy as part of the National Center for Preservation Technology & Training’s PTT Grants program.

NCPTT’s Architecture and Engineering personnel completed a draft Fiscal Year 2007 cooperative agreement with US/ICOMOS.
