ASTM C12--75 Years of Developing Mortar and Grout Standards for Masonry Construction

ASTM Committee C12 on Mortars and Grouts for Unit Masonry was organized in 1931. Therefore, 2006 marks the 75th anniversary of committee efforts to provide relevant, effective, and practical standards on mortars and grouts for unit masonry. Milestones provide an excellent opportunity for renewed focus on standards-related activities. This article examines how ASTM processes, personnel, and technology have shaped C12 standards development. The review of past activities provides context to current efforts and direction for future work.
