Question

Identify the type of stone masonry.

(a) Ashlar fine masonry

(b) Ashlar Chamfered masonry

(c) Ashlar facing masonry

(d) Ashlar block masonry

I have been asked this question during an internship interview.

This interesting question is from Classification of Stone Masonry in division Stone and Brick Masonry of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Ashlar facing masonry

The best I can explain: Ashlar facing masonry is provided along with brick or concrete block masonry, to give better appearance. The sides and Beds of each block are properly dressed so as to make them true to shape. The exposed faces of the stones are roughly tooled and chamfered.
