i) General
a) This specification refers to providing materials and constructing course rubble masonry in
foundations, plinth and superstructure.
b) Stones : Stones shall conform to specifications stipulated above in 3.C.1.1 and IS:1597.
c) Different categories of stones such as face stone, backing stone, hearting stone, headers,
quoins, etc., shall be collected in advance so as to suffice least for a week's requirements and
shall be stacked separately category-wise.
ii) Face & Backing Stones:
a) These stones shall be chiseled dressed top and bottom, true and square for at least 5cm
(2") back from the face and the rest of the width shall tail into the work and shall not project
below or above the plane of dressing. No stone shall tail to a point. The vertical joints shall be
chisel dress for a depth of not less than 4cm (1.5") from the face. Individual stones shall have
their thickness and width of not less than 15cms (about 6") in its thickest part and no stones
shall have its length less than 1.5 times its height.
b) The face stones and backing stones shall be selected from the mass of quarry stones for
their greater size, good beds, close grain and uniform colour. 50 percent of the stones shall be
more than 0.010 cum (about 1/3 cft) in thicker walls.
Through Stones
One through stone shall be provided per half square meter of facing evenly distributed. They
shall be about 0.03 Sqm (about 1/3 sft.) in face and shall have a tailing of the full width of the
masonry when the width is 60cm (above 2') or less. If the wall or masonry be over 60cm
(about 2') in width, line of headers, overlapping each other by at least 15cm (about 6") shall be

LRPL, Page 1 of 24
Hearting Stones
These can be rubble stones. In walls of 50cm (about 20") and less about 30 percent of the
stones shall not be less than 0.10 Cu.M. (about 1/3 cft) and for thicker walls about 30 percent
of stones shall not be less than 0.15 Cu.M. or (about ½ cft). The hearting stones shall be
hammer dressed on the top and bottom beds. A small proportion of spalls and chips can be
used to fill the hollows between the sides of the hearting stones in each course so as to avoid
thick mortar joints. However, spalls shall not be used for making up the height of hearting to
that of the course.
Quions
a) The quions shall be of selected stone and shall normally be 20cm x 25cm x 40cm (about 8"
x 10" x 16") or as directed by the Employer /Architect. The faces of quions shall be rough
tooled or provided the same type of dressing as that of the face stones as directed. Chisel
draft of about 40mm (about 1½") shall be provided on each side of the exposed corner.
b) The Beds and top shall be dressed square to the face and rough tooled to 10cm (about 4")
from the face and vertical joints similarly dressed to 4cm (about 1.5") from the face. In the
embedded portion the length of the side shall not be less than that of the exposed side
opposite by more than 8cm (about 3") for the longer and the shorter side
Mortar
a) Cement, sand and water shall be as specified under clauses 2.4 .Cement and sand shall be
mixed in specified proportions, sand being measured in measuring boxes. The proportions will
be by volume on the basis of 50Kg., bag of cement being equal to 35 litres (about 1.2 cft). The
mortar shall be machine-mixed for major works
b) Preparation: hand mixing to be done only by the approval of Employer /Architect.
i. In hand-mixed mortar, cement and sand in the specified proportions shall be thoroughly
mixed dry on a clean impervious platform by turning over at least 3 times till a homogenous
mixture of uniform colour is obtained. Fresh and clean water as specified above shall be
added gradually through a hose and thoroughly mixed to form a stiff plastic mass of uniform
colours so that each particle of sand shall be complete covered with a film of wet cement. The
Water-Cement ratio may be directed by the Employer /Architect.
ii. Mixing platform shall be so arranged that no deleterious and extraneous material shall get
mixed with mortar nor the mixing water of the mortar shall flow out. Machine mixed mortar
shall be prepared in an approved mixer. About 5 percent to 10 percent of mixing water shall be
put into the mixer, sand and cement in the required proportions shall be then added. The
remainder of water, quantity of which shall be predetermined by consideration of strength and
consistency shall be added uniformly. Mixing will be continued until all particles of sand are
uniformly coated with cement paste. Mixing for 1.5 to 2 minutes will normally be sufficient.
Water-cement ratios will be as per hand-mixed mortar. the mortar so prepared shall be used
within 30 minutes of adding water. Only such quantity or mortar shall be prepared as can to be
LRPL, Page 2 of 24
used within 30 minutes. the mortar remaining unused after that period or mortar which has
partially hardened or is otherwise damaged shall not be retempered or remixed. It shall be
destroyed or thrown away.
Construction
a) The masonry shall be laid to lines, levels, curves and shapes shown in the plans. all iron,
stone, concrete or other fixtures, plugs, frames, etc., if any, shall be built and bonded in at
places shown on the plan or as directed by the Employer /Architect /PMCas the work
proceeds and not inserted or joggled on after the masonry is advanced. Holes of the required
size and shape shall be left in the Masonry during construction itself for fixing pipes, service
lines or for passage of water. After the service lines, pipes, etc., are fixed extra hollow left if
any shall be filled with 1:4:8 cement concrete and the face shall be neatly finished with
matching stones. If any fixtures are to be provided, they shall be neatly embedded in the
required position while laying the masonry. Iron fixtures shall be embedded in 1:4:8 cement
concrete.
b) Stones in hearting shall be laid on their broadest face, which gives better opportunity to fill
the space between stones. Stratified stones must be laid on their natural beds. All bed joints
shall be normal to the pressure upon them. The stones shall be wetted before laying in mortar.
Each mason shall be supplied by the Contractor with a vessel full of water and a tumbler for
wetting stones, care being taken not to spill any water on green masonry. The bed, which is to
receive the stone, shall be cleaned, wetted and covered with a layer of fresh mortar. All stones
shall be laid full in mortar both in bed and vertical joints and settled carefully in place with a
mallet immediately on placement and solidly bedded in mortar before it has set.
c) Clean chips and spalls, carefully selected to fill in the space shall be wedged into the mortar
joints wherever necessary to avoid thick joints of mortar. In case any stone already set in
mortar is disturbed or the joint broken the stone shall be taken out without disturbing the
adjoining stones and joints, the mortar thoroughly cleaned from the joints and the stone reset
in fresh mortar. Attempts must never be made to slide one stone over another already laid.
d) Shaping and dressing shall be done before the stone is laid in the work. No dressing and
hammering which will loosen the masonry will be permitted after it is once placed. There shall
be good collection of stones and spalls within easy reach of mason to enable proper selection
of stones for individual location while laying. The stones shall be continuously replenished.
e) The face stones and backing stones shall be laid without any pinnings on the exposed
faces. In each course the headers or lines of headers, as the case may be, shall be kept, in
position at specified intervals and with specified laps, where such laps are required before the
masonry of the layers is commenced to ensure that they are being laid properly and in
required number and intervals. They shall be embedded in mortar as masonry in that layer
progresses.
LRPL, Page 3 of 24
f) Quoins shall be laid stretcher and headerwise as seen on each face and shall correspond to
the arrangement of quoins in the same course. The quantity of mortar for 1 cubic meter of thin
and missive masonry shall range from 0.30 Cum. to 0.35 Cum respectively and for water
retaining masonry from 0.46 Cum to 0.48 Cum.
Bond
a) Lateral Bond
To give sufficient lateral bond, a stone in any course shall break joint with the stone in the
course below or above about half the height of the course and generally not less than 8 cm.
(about 3") i.e., joints parallel to the pressure in courses above and below shall not lie too
closely near the same vertical line.
b) Transverse Bond :
To give sufficient transverse bond, the prescribed number of headers shall extend from front to
back of thin walls upto a width of 60cm (about 2') or prescribed number of lines of overlapping
headers from face to back to walls over 60cm (about 2' thick). Over laps shall be 15cm (about
6") at each end. To ensure provision of full number of headers of the required sizes, they shall
be kept at specified intervals in each course in advance of starting masonry and then
embedded in mortar. Their position in each course shall be staggered, so that each will be
near about the middle in the courses below and above. Their faces shall be marked with a
distinguishing sign to identify them.
c) At Junctions
To bond work at all angles and junctions of walls, the stones at each alternate course shall be
so carried into each of the respective walls as to join the work thoroughly, Quoins shall be laid
header and stretcher wise when seen on each side of the wall.
d) With old work

i. When new work has to be started on the old or one completed a long while ago or in the
previous working season, care shall be taken to roughen and clean masonry before laying the
new. It shall be wetted before laying bedding mortar.
Where practicable the whole of the masonry in the stretcher shall be carried upto a uniform
level throughout. But where breaks are unavoidable in carrying the work continuously in
horizontal courses, sufficiently long step shall be left to join the courses to be laid later. All
junctions of wall shall be formed at the time the walls are being built; cross walls should be
carefully bonded into the main walls. The practice of building two thin faces tied with
occasional through stones and spalls and putting mortar on top must be strictly guarded
against. Putting dry chips in the joints of stones before filling them with mortar shall be left
uneven at the top of each course. But the top of the plinth and verandah walls shall be leveled
up with fiat chips laid in mortar, if necessary, to receive damp proof course coping etc..
LRPL, Page 4 of 24
Joints
No face joints shall exceed 16 mm (about 5/8")
a) Striking Joints
The face joint shall be properly struck while the mortar is fresh. Joints which cannot be so
struck at the time of laying, shall be prepared for it by raking joints to a depth of not less than
16mm (about 5/8") when the mortar is fresh. These joints should be properly cleaned of loose
particles, wetted thoroughly and filled with good fresh cement mortar 1:3 and finished off by
being trawled smooth.
b) Treatment of Joints
When the joints are to be pointed they shall be raked to a depth of not less than their width
when the mortar is still green. When the pointing is not to be done, the mortar in the joints
shall be pressed and trawled smooth while masonry is being laid. Joints shall be raked when
plastering is to be done.
Item to Include
a) Coursed rubble masonry laid in cement mortar of specified proportion, built in any position
to any height or depth and to lines, levels curved and batters shown on the plans or as
