masonry
Masonry is a form of construction or architectural practice that involves building structures by laying individual units (like bricks, stones, concrete blocks, or tiles) and binding them together using mortar. The durability and strength of masonry structures depend heavily on the quality and type of materials used, as well as the workmanship. Masonry is often used for walls, buildings, monuments, and other structures due to its resistance to fire and weather.

Masonry
Masonry is the building of structures from individual units laid in and bound together by mortar; the term masonry can also refer to the units themselves. The common materials of masonry construction are brick, stone, marble, granite, travertine, limestone, cast stone, concrete block, glass block, stucco, and tile. Masonry is generally a highly durable form of construction. However, the materials used, the quality of the mortar and workmanship, and the pattern in which the units are assembled can significantly affect the durability of the overall masonry construction.
