Building a Stone Wall with Concrete

[@Timmays]

Fantastic job! Don't listen to the haters. England is full of stone walls that are very old. Longevity and history are on your side.

[@worganyos]

I built my own house, 1200 sq.ft footprint Canadian style, then did my own stonework on all sides, with end walls going up to 30ft high. Used "old field stone" with some stones weighing 40 to 60 lbs. Mix of 3 of sand, 1 of cement and after 50 years only 2 'hair-line' cracks, where some winters it goes down to - 35C and Summers + 35C. Only built up two levels at a time, a spatula to smooth between stones and a wet brush to finish off the cement. Good days and good memories.

[@kennkid9912]

To go so high with stone is a tremendous job.Gathering the stone. lifting the stone. Mixing yards of cement. Too much labor. Call the ready mix guy with the forms and get on with housebuilding.

Do you use steel bars?? I am curious as to how strong it will hold against earthquakes? I'm thinking of a simple farmhouse, do i need concrete beams with steel bars for a basic farmhouse?

[@paulbae1959]

how long did it take for the stone walls?

[@karelmarx8899]

my grandfather made this kind of house walls in his house in 1935 an had no iron .There was a shortige of cement in those years too. We still live in it and all walls are perfect as the first day. Our children will live in this house with no problems too.

Incredibly strong looking and neat as hell. Excellent. Not sure why similar is not used more in buildings as the effect is great. Availability and cost of stone I assume as the strength of a wall like this must equal most other forms of wall building.

[@AtlasRathbane4346]

Because concrete doesn't bond well to many different items hence why we use mortar. Concrete sets up on its own as q singular object

I learned a lot more from this video than most of the ones I've watch so far where people try to explain things. Goes back to the reason for the old adage, show not tell. Also a reminder that the way video is edited is just as important as the footage itself. Only might have been good to change the track occasionally.

[@johnallright6847]

From an old builder who has done a lot of this sort of work it looks acceptable and one of the builders got a bit lost in places and it looked like a jigsaw with wrong pieces fitted but generally not enough bridging stones fitted and throughers from back to front, plenty of concrete infill and will be like iron in a month . 7 out of 10 from me which is good!

[@yangrlkr2290]

Hi I'm a new stone mason and just recently I build two rooms with stones like that. I just wanted to know whether it will be strong or not. The walls are only 7 and 8 feet in height between beams and columns, and their is a very small beam in between at the height of around 5 feet. The mortar ratio is 1:3. I have also mounted the stones like in.this video, some even flatter with just few cucumber shape stone locking in between the two wall. And in between the wall I used something like a concrete (basalt aggregate with mortars.

[@yangrlkr2290]

The sand ratio is 50/50 coarse and fine sand. I didn't used the 'through' stone method for locking. The stones I used are bread shape and two slice of bread shape. 80% basalt.

[@shawndoe2834]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@AshwanikumarSainiARTER]

You are laying the mortar too thick, also at some places there are voids between stones!

[@RLee-zs1ds]

Mortar is not too thick, as it binds the stones more solidly and will not crack even in extreme weather.

PLanning to have our 7foot max height natural granite stone wall rebuilt in the next days. It will be holding back soil even higher than that. Its a 1971 wall but is now showing big vertical cracks. Do we need a cinder block wall behind it? How does drainage system work behind these mass walls? Thank you for any help!

[@TS-jm7jm]

dont ask this guy for help, his stone literally looks built to direct all the force outward, the concrete is doing all work of keeping the wall from falling over, it will fail in a few years, decades at most, this is a temporary structure

[@UndergroundHouseAndTechno]

@@TS-jm7jm I'm no expert, but this wall would be a thermal bridge - no cavity space or insulation. Surely the external temperature will just conduct to the internal wall face, so you have an eternal job trying to keep the internal space warm if cold outside? That said, looks like there could be a corridor wall on the other side. Also, no need for buttressing at any point? Maybe some vertical rebar in there to keep things upright? Would be good to know more about the build and the job this wall is meant to do. in the overall scheme of the project.

[@stefanosliamos9440]

It looks nice bro but just nice , we need stability also..... 1. The stones must be lay on the stones under , not standing up. (with this way actually you don't need so much cement and maybe not at all. I can show you plenty of buildings without any cement or mud that staying more than 100 years (some about more than a thousand years) . In case of earthquake the stones are griding between them and that could cause collapse 2. Never put two lines and fill it with other stones, that way makes less stability 3. The stones needs some curving and the moto is "hit them with no mercy". Don't put them as it is 4. every stone must stand on other 2 stones at least . Don't make straight divert lines
