Seminar publications

Each year the NRC Institute for Research in Construction presents a national seminar series whose purpose is to provide practical information to construction professionals. Each seminar focuses on a single topic and reports the results of IRC research, complemented by information from other organizations in North America and abroad. Documentation for these seminars in the form of articles and background papers is subsequently placed on the IRC Web site for free access, as listed below. Bound publications, issued at the seminars held between 1982 and 1992, continue to be sold in print form.

Although certain aspects of the information presented at some seminars may now be dated, overall the publications available here remain largely relevant in today's context.
