Stone Masonry

Masonry means construction of buildings using building blocks like stone, bricks, concrete blocks etc.Masonry is used for the construction of foundation, plinth, walls and columns. Mortar is the binding material for the building blocks. In this article different types of stone masonry used are explained and points to be observed while supervising stone masonry works are listed. Types of Stone Masonry Mainly there are two types of stone...

Strength of Materials

Strength of Materials - Stress 2. StressesStress is defined as the internal resistance set up by a body when it is deformed. It is measured in N/m2 and this unit is specifically called Pascal (Pa). A bigger unit of stress is the mega Pascal (MPa).1 Pa = 1N/m2,1MPa = 106 N/m2 =1N/mm2.2.1. Three Basic Types of StressesBasically three different types of stresses can be identified. These are related to the nature of the deforming force applied...

Behaviour of Materials 1. Introduction When a force is applied on a body it suffers a change in shape, that is, it deforms. A force to resist the deformation is also set up simultaneously within the body and it increases as the deformation continues. The process of deformation stops when the internal resisting force equals the externally applied force. If the body is unable to put up full resistance to external action, the process of deformation...
