Overview Masonry has become increasingly important as a
construction method for Seabee construction. The commonly accepted
definition of masonry, or unit masonry as it is sometimes called,
is a construction method made up of prefabricated masonry units
(such as concrete block, brick, clay tile, and stone) laid in
various ways and joined together by mortar. In the Builder Basic
training manual, we covered concrete masonry units (CMUs) in depth,
and the construction techniques used to lay them. This chapter
covers the construction techniques of laying brick, structural clay
tile, and stone, and the estimating procedures associated with
CMUs.
Objectives When you have completed this chapter, you will be
able to do the following:
1. Estimate material and labor for concrete masonry units
according to NAVFAC P-405.
2. Estimate material for brick construction. 3. Identify the
components, requirements, and construction techniques of
structural
clay tile. 4. Identify the components, requirements, and
construction techniques of stone
masonry.

1.0.0 ESTIMATING CONCRETE MASONRY UNITS (CMU) Concrete masonry
walls are laid out so as to make maximum use of full- and
half-length units. This is called modular planning. Architectural
and Engineering (A&E) firms and Builders strive to build
modular structures because it minimizes cutting and fitting of
units on the job, which in turn saves on labor and cost. Table 4-1
lists the nominal lengths of concrete masonry walls by
stretchers.

As a Builder, you might find yourself in the field without the
tables handy. To solve that problem, we will cover two methods of
estimating concrete masonry units (CMUs) without the tables.
1.1.0 Chasing the Bond Chasing the bond uses the 3/4 rule and
the 3/2 rule. When estimating, always use outside measurements to
calculate the number of blocks required per course. In most Seabee
construction, 8 x 8 x 16 block is used.
1.1.1 Using the 3/4 Rule Using the 3/4 rule (three full block
[fb] per 4 feet in length) or .75, multiply the length of the wall
by .75. For example, a retaining wall that is 100 feet in length
(1,000 square feet) will require 75 block for the first course.
Length of course in feet x rule 3/4 = number of CMU per
course
1.1.2 Using the 3/2 Rule Using the 3/2 rule (three full block
per 2 feet in height), multiply the height of the wall by 1.5. For
example, the height of the retaining wall is 10 feet. Multiply 10
by the rule 3/2 (1.5), which will equal 15 block high (courses
high).
Height of wall in feet x rule 3/2 = courses high Then, to find
the total number of full block in the retaining wall, multiply the
number of block in length by the number of block in height, which
in this example is 75 CMUs in length times 15 courses high, which
equals 1,125 fb. Lets take another example, using a building 20
feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high.
.75 x 20 x 2 (sides) = 30 (8 x 8 x 16 block)
.75 x 8 x 2 (sides) = 12 (8 x 8 x 16 block) Or you can find the
total linear feet (lf) of the building and multiply by .75.
20 x 2 (sides) + 8 x 2 (sides) = 56 lf 56 x .75 = 42 fb 1.5 x 8
= 12 courses high 42 fb x 12 courses = 504 total fb
1.2.0 Square Foot Method The square foot method is usually the
quickest and simplest method but NOT the most accurate. As the
estimator, however, you will use this method quite frequently. In
the first example the retaining wall was 10 feet high and 100 feet
long. To find square feet, all you do is use the equation L x H =
SF; in this example, the answer is 1,000 square feet (sf). To find
the number of 9 x 8 x16 block required, you must determine the
square footage of one CMU, which is .89 sf per block. Next you
divide 1,000 sf by 89 sf/CMU, which equals 1,124 fb. You calculated
the block for 1,000 sf, and the difference is 1 less block figuring
by the square foot method.
Total sf divided by sf/CMU = total number of CMU Now calculate
the 20 x 20 x 8 building:
20 x 8 = 160 sf x 2 (sides) = 320 sf
NAVEDTRA 14045A 4-5
-
8 x 8 = 54 sf x 2 (sides) = 128 sf Total = 448 sf 448 sf / .89
sf/CMU 503.4 or 504 total fb
Or, you can multiply the square footage of the building times
the number of block per square foot (1.125 CMU/sf).
448 SF x 1.125 CMU/SF = 504 CMU If you were planning a modular
building, you would use the square foot method for quicker
estimating, but there is an additional step you need to take,
calculating the duplicating factor, which takes into account that
every course will have a half block at each corner. For example,
you estimated 504 fb for this building. To estimate the fb
accurately, you would deduct two f /course or multiply 12 courses x
.5 (half block [hb]) x four corners = 24 fb. Then deduct the 24 fb
from the total fb as shown in the following formula:
12 courses x .5 x 4 corners = 24 fb 504 fb - 24 fb = 480 fb
1.3.0 Estimating Door and Window Openings When you estimate
CMUs, usually the window and door openings are designed to be
modular and the window and door frames are of the same mode. If the
design is NOT modular, you can expect a lot of cutting time. When
you estimate for openings, just calculate the area of the opening,
and then subtract the area of the opening(s) from the overall area
of the wall or building to get the net area. Finally, multiply the
number of CMU per square foot by the net area.
1.4.0 Estimating Mortar Builders have found that it takes about
38 cubic feet of raw materials to make 1 cubic yard of mortar.
Therefore, you can use rule 38 for calculating the raw material
needed to mix 1 cubic yard of mortar without having to do a great
deal of paper work. However, this rule does not accurately
calculate the required raw materials for large masonry construction
jobs. For larger jobs, use the absolute volume or weight formula.
In most cases, though, and particularly in advanced base
construction, you may use rule 38 to make a quick estimate of the
quantities of raw materials required. Here is how you use rule 38
for calculating mortar: Take the rule number and divide it by the
sum of the quantity figures specified in the mix. For example, lets
assume that the building specification calls for a 1:3 mix for
mortar, 1 + 3 = 4. Since 38 4 = 9 1/2, you need 9 1/2 sacks, or 9
1/2 cubic feet, of cement. To calculate the amount of fine
aggregate (sand), you multiply 9 1/2 by 3. The product (28 1/2
cubic feet) is the amount of sand you need to mix 1 cubic yard of
mortar using a 1:3 mix. The sum of the two required quantities
should always equal 38. This is how you can check whether you are
using the correct amounts. In the previous example, 9 1/2 sacks of
cement plus 28 1/2 cubic feet of sand equal 38. Table 4-3 shows
that it takes 8.5 cubic feet (cf) of mortar to lay 100 sf of 8" x
8" x 16" block. In the previous example, you estimated the building
at 480 sf of wall area. To calculate the amount of mortar to lay
the CMU, first convert the 480 sf to units.
480 sf 100 sf = 4.8 units Then multiply the units by the number
of cubic feet of mortar; NAVEDTRA 14045A 4-6
-
4.8 units x 8.5 cf = 40.8 cf of mortar To calculate the
ingredients needed to make 40.80 cf of mortar with a 1:1/4:3 mix,
the 1/4 being hydrated lime, first calculate the amount of cement
using rule 38. Remember the formula: 9 1/2 sacks of cement (94
lb/sk) per cubic yard. Use the following formula: First, convert
cubic feet of mortar to cubic yards:
40.8 cf 27 cf/cy = 1.51 cubic yard Cement: (1) x 9 1/2 cf = 0
1/2 (sacks) x 1.51 cd = 14 sks (cf) Sand: 3/4 x 9 1/2 = 28 1/2 / 38
(cf) x 1.51 cd = 43 cf Lime: (1/4) x 9 1/2 cf = 2.5 (cf) x 1.51 cd
= 4 cf Total: 61 cf
1.5.0 Estimating Mixing Time Lets briefly cover the mixing time
it will take to mix mortar. A typical mortar mixer has a capacity
of mixing 4 to 7 cubic feet per batch, and each batch must be mixed
for a minimum of 3 minutes. In the most recent example, we
calculated a total of 61 cubic feet of raw materials needed to
construct this building. Now just divide the number of cubic feet
per batch by the total number of cubic feet of raw materials, and
then multiply that number by the number of minutes per batch.
61 cf / 4 cf/batch = 15 batches 15 batches x 3 minutes/batch =
45 minutes
The time indicates only the required continuous mixing time and
does not include the cleaning, staging, or transporting time of the
material or the time required for you to lay the CMU. Batching
procedures will vary with individual preference. Experience is the
key to good results in obtaining the desired mix.
1.6.0 Estimating Labor This section briefly covers labor
estimates for concrete masonry units according to the Seabee
Planners and Estimators Handbook, NAVFAC P-405. Table 4-4 shows the
labor table from the P-405 on how to estimate labor.

When using this table, you will see that 8" x 8" x 16" block
takes one person (skilled labor) 160 man hours to lay 1,000 square
feet of CMUs. If you were to break this labor down into how many
CMUs are laid in an 8-hour period, it would be calculated as
follows:
1000 sf of wall area = 1,125 CMU 160 man hours 8 hour days = 20
duration days 1125 CMU 20 days= 56.25 CMU/day
Lets return to the building example. How many man hours (MH)
will it take with a crew of one skilled and three non-skilled
laborers? This is the ratio/proportion part of this calculation. If
160 MH equals 1,000 sf of wall area (NAVFAC P-405), then, X (MH)
equals the square footage of the wall area.
160 (MH) :1000 sf :: x (MH) : 448 sf = 160 x 448 :: 1000 x 71680
1000 x = 71.68 X = 72 MH
Another method you may use to calculate this number is as
follows: x/160 = 448/1000
In this equation, you simply cross multiply the following: 160 x
448 = 71680 X times 1000 = 1000 x, then divide 71680 1000 x
NAVEDTRA 14045A 4-8
-
X = 71.68 or 72 MH In this example, it takes 72 man hours to lay
448 sf or 504 CMUs. Now divide the number of MH by 8-hour days. It
would equal 9 duration days. To see how close the estimate is, one
person (skilled) lays 56.25 CMU/day and you calculated 9 days. Then
multiply 56.25 times 9 which equals 506 block. There is a two block
difference, which is not much in this example, but it could be if
you were estimating thousands of square feet of CMU.
2.0.0 BRICK CONSTRUCTION Brick masonry is masonry construction
in which units of baked clay or shale of uniform size, small enough
to be placed with one hand, are laid in courses with mortar joints
to form walls. Bricks are kiln-baked from various clay and shale
mixtures. The chemical and physical characteristics of the
ingredients vary considerably. These characteristics and the kiln
temperatures combine to produce brick in a variety of colors and
hardnesses. In some regions, individual pits yield clay or shale
which, when ground and moistened, can be formed and baked into
durable brick. In other regions, clay or shale from several pits
must be mixed.
2.1.0 Brick Classification A finished brick structure contains
face brick, brick placed on the exposed face of the structure, and
backup brick, brick placed behind the face brick. The face brick is
often of higher quality than the backup brick; however, the entire
wall may be built of common brick. Common brick is made from
pit-run clay with no attempt at color control and no special
surface treatment like glazing or enameling. Most common brick is
red. Although any surface brick is a face brick as distinguished
from a backup brick, the term face brick is also used to
distinguish high quality brick from brick of common quality or
less. Applying this criterion, face brick is more uniform in color
than common brick and may be obtained in a variety of colors as
well. It may be specifically finished on the surface, and, in any
case, it has a better surface appearance than common brick. It may
also be more durable as a result of the use of select clay and
other materials or as a result of special manufacturing methods.
Backup brick may consist of brick that is inferior in quality even
to common brick. Brick that has been underburned or overburned, or
brick made with inferior clay or by inferior methods, is often used
for backup brick. Still another type of classification divides
brick into grades according to the probable climatic conditions to
which they are to be exposed. These are as follows:
Grade SW is brick designed to withstand exposure to
below-freezing temperatures in a moist climate like that of the
northern regions of the United States.
Grade MW is brick designed to withstand exposure to
below-freezing temperatures in a drier climate than that mentioned
in the previous paragraph.
Grade NW is brick primarily intended for interior or backup
brick. It may be used exposed; however, it can be used only in
regions where no frost action occurs.
2.2.0 Estimating Brick and Mortar When estimating the number of
brick and the quantity of mortar, you need to know the exact size
of the brick and the thickness of the mortar joint. This
information is found in NAVEDTRA 14045A 4-9
-
the plans or specifications. Table 4-5 shows the quantities of
material required for brick walls.
Table 4-5 Quantities of Material Required for Brick Walls.
Size of Brick Wall Area
(sf) Number of Brick
Joint Size
Mortar (cf/1000 brick)
2 1/4 x 3 3/4 x 8 100 616 1/2 11.7
2 1/4 x 3 5/8 x 7 5/8 100 686 3/8 8.7
3 x 4 1/4 x 9 100 480 1/2 5.7
NOTE
Quantities of brick include the thickness of the mortar joint
with no allowance for waste.
The following example shows the square foot method of estimating
the number of bricks for a 4 inch wall measuring 8 feet high and 14
feet long. Specifications call for the use of U.S. standard brick
with a 1/2 inch mortar joint. The brick face with its mortar joints
measures 2 3/4 inches high by 8 1/2 inches long. The correct steps
to follow are these:
1. Find the surface area by multiplying the height and the
length of a brick (include mortar joint). In this case: 2 3/4" x 8
1/2 = 2.75 x 8.50 = 23.38 square inches per brick
2. Find the number of bricks per square foot of wall. In this
case, the number of bricks is 6.16 per square foot for a 4 inch
wall.
3. Find the area of the brick wall by multiplying its height by
its length. 8 feet x 14 feet = 112 square feet
4. Multiply the area of the wall by the number of bricks per
square foot. In this case: 112 x 6.16 or 690 bricks plus 10% waste
which equals 760 bricks
NOTE
If there are windows, doors, and other openings on the wall, you
subtract the area of these openings from the overall area of the
wall to get the net area. Then in Step 4, you multiply the number
of bricks per square foot by the net area.
In finding how much mortar is required to build this wall,
divide the number of bricks by 1,000, then multiply the result by
the factor given in Table 4-5 and allow 20% for waste.
760 1000 = .76 .76 x 11.7 (cubic feet of mortar per 1000 bricks)
= 8.90 cf of mortar 8.90 x 20% (waste) = 10.68 or 10.7 cubic feet
of mortar
Therefore, to construct this wall with U.S. standard brick with
a 1/2 inch mortar joint, you require 760 bricks and 10.7 cubic feet
of mortar.
3.0.0 STRUCTURAL CLAY TILE Hollow masonry units made of burned
clay or shale are variously called structural tiles, hollow tiles,
structural clay tiles, structural clay hollow tiles, and structural
clay hollow building tiles, but they are most commonly called
building tile. In building tile
NAVEDTRA 14045A 4-10
-
manufacture, plastic clay is pushed through a die, and the shape
that emerges is cut off into units. The units are then burned much
as bricks are burned. The apertures in a building tile, which
correspond to the cores in a brick or a concrete block, are called
cells. The solid sides of a tile are called the shell, and the
perforated material enclosed by the shell is called the web. A tile
that is laid on one of its shell faces is called a side
construction tile; several sizes and shapes are shown in Figure
4-1.
Figure 4-1 Standard shapes of side construction building
tiles.
A tile that is laid on one of its web faces is called an end
construction tile; several sizes and shapes are shown in Figure
4-2.
Figure 4-2 Standard shapes of end construction building
tiles.
Special shapes for use at corners and openings or for use as
closures are also available.
NAVEDTRA 14045A 4-11
-
3.1.0 Physical Characteristics The compressive strength of the
individual tile depends on the materials used and the method of
manufacture in addition to the thickness of the shells and webs. A
minimum compressive strength of tile masonry of 300 pounds per
square inch based on the gross section may be expected. The tensile
strength of structural clay tile masonry is small. In most cases,
it is less than 10 percent of the compressive strength. The
abrasion resistance of clay tile depends primarily upon its
compressive strength. The stronger the tile, the greater is its
resistance to wearing. The abrasion resistance decreases as the
amount of water absorbed increases. Structural clay facing tile has
excellent resistance to weathering. Freezing and thawing action
produces almost no deterioration. Tile that will absorb no more
than 16 percent of its weight of water has never given
unsatisfactory performance in resisting the effect of freezing and
thawing action. Only Portland cement lime mortar or mortar prepared
from masonry cement should be used if the masonry is exposed to the
weather. Walls containing structural clay tile have better
heat-insulating qualities than walls composed of solid units
because of the dead air space that exists in tile walls. The
resistance to sound penetration of this type of masonry compares
favorably with that of the resistance of solid masonry walls, but
it is somewhat less. The fire resistance of tile walls is
considerably less than the fire resistance of solid masonry walls.
It can be improved by the application of a coat of plaster to the
surface of the wall. Partition walls of structural clay tile 6
inches thick will resist a fire for 1 hour provided the fire
produces a temperature of not more than 1700F. The solid material
in structural clay tile weighs about 125 pounds per cubic foot.
Since the tile contains hollow cells of various sizes, the weight
of the tile varies depending upon the manufacturer and type. A 6
inch tile wall weighs approximately 30 pounds per square foot,
while a 12 inch tile wall weighs approximately 45 pounds per square
foot.
3.2.0 Uses for Structural Clay Tile Structural clay tile may be
used for the exterior walls of either the load bearing or non- load
bearing type. It is suitable for both below grade and above grade
construction.
Structural load bearing tile is made from 4 to 12 inch
thicknesses with various face dimensions. The use of these tiles is
restricted by building codes and specifications, so consult the
project specification. Non-load bearing partition walls from the 4
to 12 inch thicknesses are frequently made of structural clay tile.
These walls are easily built, light in weight, and have good heat
and sound insulating properties. Figure 4-3 shows the use of
structural clay tile as a back unit for a brick wall.
Figure 4-3 Structural tile used as a backing for bricks.
NAVEDTRA 14045A 4-12
-
Figure 4-4 shows the use of 8 x 5 x 12 inch tile in wall
construction. Exposure of the open end of the tile can be avoided
by the application of a thin tile, called a soap, at the
corner.
4.0.0 STONE MASONRY Stone masonry units consist of natural
stone. In rubble stone masonry, the stones are left in their
natural state without any kind of shaping. In ashlar masonry, the
faces of stones that are to be placed in surface positions are
squared so that the surfaces of the finished structure will be more
or less continuous plane surfaces. Both rubble and ashlar work may
be either random or coursed. Figure 4-4 Eight inch structural
clay
tile wall.
Random rubble is the crudest of all types of stonework. Little
attention is paid to laying the stones in courses, as shown in
Figure 4-5. Ashlar coursed masonry is at the opposite end of the
stone masonry spectrum, having structured courses and squared stone
faces, as shown in Figure 4-6.
Figure 4-5 Random rubble stone masonry.
Figure 4-6 Coursed ashlar stone masonry.
NAVEDTRA 14045A 4-13
-
Each layer must contain bonding stones that extend through the
wall, as shown in Figure 4-7. This produces a wall that is well
tied together. The bed joints should be horizontal for stability,
but the builds or head joints may run in any direction.
Figure 4-7 Layers of bond in random stone masonry.
Coursed rubble consists of roughly squared stones assembled in
such a manner as to produce approximately continuous horizontal bed
joints, as shown in Figure 4-8. The stone used in stone masonry
should be strong and durable. Durability and strength depend upon
the chemical composition and physical structure of the stone. Some
of the more commonly found stones that are suitable are limestone,
sandstone, granite, and slate. Unsquared stones obtained from
nearby ledges or quarries, or even fieldstones may be used. The
size of the stone should be such that two people can easily handle
it. Using a variety of sizes avoids using large quantities of
mortar.
Figure 4-8 Coursed rubble masonry.
The mortar used in stone masonry may be composed of Portland
cement and sand in the proportions of 1 part cement to 3 parts sand
by volume. Such mortar shrinks excessively and does not work well
with the trowel. A better mortar to use is Portland cement lime
mortar. Mortar made with ordinary Portland cement will stain most
types of stone. If staining must be prevented, non-staining white
Portland cement should be used in making the mortar. Lime does not
usually stain the stone.
