Stone Masonry - Random Uncoursed Ashlar
Stone Masonry - Random Uncoursed Ashlar
Random uncoursed ashlar is a type of stone masonry that uses finely tooled ashlar stones laid in random and discontinuous courses. Consisting of various size stones with highly processed and dressed rectangular shapes, uncoursed ashlar provides a more organic pattern while remaining structurally strong with engineered and controlled joints and bonds. This type of masonry is often used for its aesthetic appeal, as it can create a sense of balance and harmony. However, it is also structurally sound, as the stones are carefully calculated and crafted to ensure structural integrity.
Random Uncoursed Ashlar Stone Masonry is comprised of stones with typical stone lengths between 5.5”-20.5” (14-52.1 cm) and stone heights of 2.25”-8” (5.7-20.3 cm). Stone masonry walls have common wall depths of 12”-24” (30.5-61 cm), typical wall heights between 5’-15’ (1.5-4.6 m), and maximum heights of around 35’ (10.7 m).
