Design of Masonry Structures
Consider the following statements: The use of relatively weak mortar
1. Will accommodate movements due to loads and, cracking if any, and will be distributed as thin hair cracks which are less noticeable or harmful.
2. Will result in reduction of stresses due to differential expansion of masonry units.

1 alone is correct
2 alone is correct
Neither 1 nor 2 is correct
Both 1 and 2 are correct
