The first builders of the world were masons, although they worked with rather rustic materials, as they found them in nature, they had a great responsibility on their shoulders.

Any construction involves knowledge and well-developed skills to keep it standing and fulfilling its function. Therefore, if you are interested in this activity, we recommend you to start studying it with our masonry books.

Masonry is the art of building structures or works for buildings, starting from separate objects that are joined together by means of mortars or materials that harden.

The main materials most frequently used by masons are the so-called stone materials, such as bricks, blocks and stones. They also use cement, lime, sand and even glass.

Masons use all these materials to build structures, cladding, frescoes, coatings; marble, granite, plaster surfaces; and plumbing and heating systems.

Undoubtedly, masons have a big job on their hands, of very high importance for any urban or rural center. In this sense, masonry has been able to evolve along with technological advances to facilitate the work.

Currently, there are three main types of masonry: simple masonry, which is carried out only with mortar and bricks; concrete masonry, in which steel structures can be used to reinforce walls; and reinforced masonry, which is carried out with confinements.

We hope that our more than 20 books about masonry in PDF format will be very useful for our community of readers. Remember that our books are distributed free of charge and are in the public domain.
