Composition study of a mortar appropriate for masonry cavities and joints [PDF]
It is well known that unreinforced masonry behaves as a quasi-brittle material when subjected to seismic loading. The construction in unreinforced masonry is usually not allowed in regions with moderate to high seismic hazard.
