Fresh mortar manufacturing method for brickwork of lime-sandstone slab involves step wise mixing of concentrated mortar compound with water, binding material, cement, lime or cement-lime-mixture and sand at construction siteThe method involves five steps for mixing. In the first step (S1) 57 ...
Masonrycement mortaris used where the sand is suitable to give sufficient workability without lime or plasticiser. Mix ratios vary from 1:2.5 (cement:sand) for a rich mix for structural brickwork, such as manholes in roads, down to 1:7 for more movement. Plasticised mortaris made with rat...

The diagonal cracking mechanism, on the other hand, is characterised by splitting or stepped sliding along the mortar joints, with the ultimate condition depending on the properties and geometry of the brick and mortar as well as their interaction (Malyszko2004; Stafford-Smith et al.1970). Altho...
Lime mortar bonded brickwork loadbearing walls are widely employed in many colonial period structures around the world; however, most of the research articles on masonry structures refer only to single brick thick walls. With a view to understanding the characteristics of masonry of various bonding ...

This paper presents the results of an experimental program carried out in the laboratory to evaluate the shear strength of aerial lime mortar brickwork. Masonry triplets and walls were tested after one year from their construction by adopting two different testing methods. The first approach consisted...
Greece. The Marmarion tower was built in 1367 by Priests Alexios and Ioannis for the Ancient Monastery of Pantokratoras. The tower is constructed using secondary ancient material, mainly sandstones, marlstones, fired bricks and good quality lime mortar. The ancient material is composed of large ...
