This paper deals with an experimental investigation on the strength of stone masonry. Stonework is acomposite material with stone as the building units and the mortar as the jointing material. When this two elementcombined to form a stonework unit, the properties of the materials influences the strength of the stonework. To study thebehaviour of masonry under compression, the prisms of the stone masonry has been made in different sizes with cementmortar of 1:6. The prisms were tested under the compression and load and deformations were observed. Thecompressive strength of the masonry unit has been calculated and the stress strain curve plotted. Also the Modulus ofelasticity has been calculated. The results of compressive strength show that the strength of the stone masonry increasesin P4, P3, P2 with respect to P5. The results of load and the deformation of stone masonry clearly show that deformationcapacity of pier is significantly increases in P1, P2, P3, P4 with respect to P5.
