Masonry Construction Magazine
Aberdeen's Magazine of Masonry Construction covers ways of building with all types of masonry, including clay brick, concrete block, glass block, and natural stone. It provides practical how-to information on tools, materials, equipment, and building techniques used in both residential and commercial masonry construction. Architectural and structural design, maintenance, and repair are also covered. A monthly troubleshooting department solves common design and construction problems, and a books department reports on useful new publications. The annual Reference Guide Includes product, manufacturer, and association directories.
Masonry Construction is a valuable reference and information source for masons, masonry contractors, and general contractors engaged in masonry work, architects and engineers designing with masonry, and producers and distributors of masonry products.
