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.

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

Would it help adhesion if the stones are sprayed with water before pressed into the concrete or mortar?

[@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.

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.

About 50 percent of the stones are laid correctly(horizontally at least 40 percent deep into the thickness of the wall). The other 50 percent must be laid that way too. Some of them are laid vertically which is a big no no. Always lay the flatest side of the stones on top of the layer of stones beneath it. Try to keep the mortar thickness between 1cm thick and 1.5cm thick. The mortar is just for sealing the gaps. Lay your stones as if you were laying a dry stack stone wall.

[@jayojoe]

Mortar have to be a other consistence like this because the stones have to sit on thiere selfes by their own and mortar is just the finish for the joints to keep look it nice and to seal it from any water or dirt drainage... to mason a wall is simple but to mason a good wall is somting diffrent...
