Synopsis

Understand how compression and shear drive safe masonry design.

This practical guide explains the stresses that cause masonry failure and shows simple calculations you can use in real projects. It focuses on compression and shear, with classic rules and tested relationships drawn from early 20th‑century research. The text guides engineers and builders through stone strength, arch behavior, vaults, and the role of joints and friction in supporting structures.

  • Learn how to evaluate ultimate stresses for common stone types
  • See how arches, vaults, and domes transfer loads and develop lines of resistance
  • Understand joint strength, friction, and the impact of cement and reinforcement
  • Apply practical formulas to assess bending, shear, and stability in masonry
Ideal for readers of practical engineering handbooks, historic building practice, and students seeking solid, design-minded explanations of masonry stresses.
