Masonry refers to the construction of structures from distinct units placed and bound together. It can be characterized as the arrangement of various materials in various ways with or without mortar. Modern masonry involves constructing buildings using modern materials such as concrete-block joists, concrete slabs, and walls made of pressed bricks, cement blocks, perlite, tiles, stones, and glass blocks. The most popular masonry materials used in industrialized countries are concrete block and brick, which can be either load bearing or non-load-bearing. Concrete blocks, particularly those with hollow cores, provide compressive strength and are appropriate for constructing buildings with light transverse loading. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of modern masonry. It presents researches on the building techniques, tools and materials which are used within this field. This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying masonry as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts.
