Mäsiar was active in research mainly on topics connected with the inland navigation and the design of filling systems of large navigation locks. Also he was interested in the turbulence characteristics of open channel flow. He was active in the Slovak Academy as a Council Member and he acted as first deputy of its secretary from 1970 to 1974. Mäsiar was also the Dean of the SVST civil engineering faculty from 1973 to 1980. He received a number of honors from the Slovak Academy and the University in addition to state prizes.
