OVERVIEW
TYPES OF ROCKS USED IN STONE MASONRY
QUARRYING AND PRODUCING OF BUILDING STONES
TYPES OF STONE MASONRY WALLS AND THEIR
CONSTRUCTION
PRECAST CONCRETE MASONRY AND CONSTRUCTION OF
WALLS
Stone Masonry:
Building stones obtained by quarrying from the rocky strata of
earth and reducing it to the required shapes and sizes for
construction
Stone vs Brick:
Similarities:
Both stacked
Mortar Joints
Differences:
Shape:
Brick molded - Stone Cut and Carved
Physical Properties:
Brick made/controlled Stone provided by nature
Granite
Non-porous,
hard, strong,
durable
Color Range
Surface Textures
Sources
Primary Uses
Polished Surface
Rough Texture
Shape
Flat to Round
Shale: Derived from clays and silts; weak along planes and is in
thin laminations - High in limestone and color varies from black
to red, yellow, and blue
Limestone: Sedimentary rock composed of calcite and
dolomite - Three types: oolitic, dolomitic and crystalline - Has
high compressive strength - Used for building stones and for
paneling
Metamorphic rocks

Masonry grades:
N - Grade; For general use above or below grade;
S grade: Above grade use only;
Masonry Types :
Type I - Moisture-controlled units for use where drying shrinkage
of units would cause cracking in concrete masonry;
Type II - Non-moisture-controlled units - weights: Normal,
medium and light weights
