Design of Masonry Structures
Consider the following statements:
1. Masonry in rich cement mortar though having good strength with high shrinkage is much liable for surface cracks.
2. Lime mortar possesses poor workability and poor water retentivity and also suffers high shrinkage.
3. Masonry in lime mortar has better resistance against rain penetration and is less liable to crack when compared to masonry in cement mortar.
Which of these statements are correct?

1 and 2
2 and 3
1 and 3
1, 2 and 3

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.

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