Abstract

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