Masonry construction is one of the oldest forms of building. It involves the assembly of individual units, usually bricks, stones, or blocks, with mortar to create a cohesive structure. The strength and durability of masonry have made it a popular choice for walls, foundations, and other structural elements throughout history. Different bonding patterns, such as running bond, English bond, and Flemish bond, can be used to achieve various aesthetic and structural effects. The selection of appropriate mortar and the proper laying of units are crucial for ensuring the longevity and stability of masonry structures.
