Introduction
Masonry building construction encompasses the large inventory of structures built worldwide solely or partially of individually laid masonry units bonded or not together with some type of mortar, possibly with the incorporation of reinforcement; depending on the constituent materials, stacking, and bonding techniques, different technologies are adopted for building the masonry elements that comprise the entire building; thus, materials and techniques adopted worldwide vary with local customs, socioeconomic conditions, and available technology. A comprehensive continuously updated description of the different materials and technologies of construction around the world is given in the World Housing Encyclopedia (EERI/IAEE).
Because of their widespread use, masonry structures house not only the population but...
