What is masonry?

Masonry is the
building of
structures from
individual units laid
in and bound
together by mortar.
The common
materials of masonry
construction are
brick, stone such as
marble, granite,
travertine,
limestone; concrete
block, glass block,
and tile. Masonry is
generally a highly
durable form of
construction.
However, the
materials used, the
quality of the mortar
and workmanship,
and the pattern the
units are put in can
strongly affect the
durability of the
overall masonry
