N2  - "A form of construction for building long-lasting structures from separate units that are usually bound together by mortar is known as masonry. It utilizes materials such as bricks, granite, cast stone, marble, limestone, glass blocks, concrete blocks, etc. A skilled mason or bricklayer can immensely improve the durability of the construction by focusing on the mortar's quality, the materials used, and by emphasizing on the workmanship. Utilizing the right materials in masonry has implications in terms of increasing the thermal mass of building, affording fire-protection, as well as resistance to projectiles, including debris from tornadoes or hurricanes. Various external factors, such as extreme weather and strong oscillations, such as due to earthquakes, have to be taken into consideration while designing structures. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of masonry. It outlines the techniques and applications of modern masonry in detail. The book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area." -- Back cover
