As bricks are comparatively small in size, they can be handled easily. Further, brick being uniform in size can be arranged systematically and bonded together with mortar to form a homogeneous mass, which is called brick masonry. The materials used for brick masonry are bricks, mortar and specially shaped bricks. Mortar helps to bind the individual bricks and to form a cushion to take up the inequalities in the brick and to distribute the pressure evenly and also to fill up the interstices in the bricks.
