WHAT IS MASONRY?
ī‚¨ The stacking of natural or manufactured fired
units to create a structural element.
ī‚¨ Mortar joins these units
ī‚¨ Acts in compression
ī‚¨ Durable, fireproof
ī‚¨ Suitable for all elements of the structural
ī‚¨ Labor intensive; requires exact skill
ī‚¨ Masonry is broken into units of brick, concrete,
stone
ACH 122-Construction Technology 2
THE HISTORY of
MASONRY
ī‚¨ Earliest type of masonry was native field
stones piled upon one another without mortar
to join them
ī‚¨ Other types included sod or dried mud
ī‚¨ Clay & silt were mixed with water & formed by
hand into bricks
ī‚¨ The joints were packed with mud
ī‚¤ Kept out wind & rain
ī‚¤ Gave a level building surface
ACH 122-Construction Technology 2
THE HISTORY of
MASONRY
ī‚¨ Clay bricks placed in or next to a fire became
harder & more weather resistant
ī‚¨ The invention of the “kiln” by the Romans
ī‚¨ Masons turned limestone into lime and added
this to mud for mortar
ACH 122-Construction Technology 2
THE HISTORY of
MASONRY
ī‚¨ 4000 B.C.
ī‚¤ Mesopotamians built stone and sun-dried brick
buildings
ī‚¨ 3000 B.C.
ī‚¤ Egyptians built temples and pyramids of cut stone
ī‚¨ 500 B.C.
ī‚¤ Greeks used limestone and marble
ī‚¨ 100 A.D.
ī‚¤ Babylonians refined arches over small openings
ī‚¨ 1100 A.D.
ī‚¤ Romans perfected the arch and vault, built forum
building, theaters, baths, aqueducts & homes

TYPES OF MORTAR: “MaSoNwOrK”
ī‚¨ Type "M" (High): Strength (2500 psi)
High lateral and compressive loads & below grade uses
ī‚¨ Type "S" (Medium-High): Strength (1800 psi)
High flexural and normal compressive loads (most common)
ī‚¨ Type "N" (Medium): Strength (750 psi)
General above grade uses
ī‚¨ Type "O" (Medium-Low): Strength (350 psi)
Non-Load bearing walls
ī‚¨ Type "K" (Low): Strength (75 psi)
Non-Load bearing where permitted (only used in preservation work)
