Presentation on brick and stone masonry

When bricks are laid in mortar in a proper systematic manner, they form a homogeneous mass, which can withstand forces without disintegration. This mass of the structure, so made by the use of bricks is called "Brick Masonry" or simply "Brick work".
Bricks are of uniform size and shape, light in weight, durable, fire resistant, have high resale value, low maintenance cost and are easily available in plain areas.
Brick Masonry is commonly used for construction of ordinary as well as important buildings in plain areas now-a-days.
