	Masonry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Masonry is the building of structures from individual units laid in and bound together by mortar.
		Masonry must be built upon a firm foundation (usually reinforced concrete) to avoid potential settling and cracking.
		The strength of a masonry wall is not entirely dependent on the bond between the building material and the mortar; the friction between the interlocking blocks of masonry is often strong enough to provide a great deal of strength on its own.
