Identify the type of joint in stone masonry.(a) Butt joint(b) Joggle joint(c) Table joint(d) Cramped jointI had been asked this question in an online quiz.My question is based upon Joints in Stone Masonry topic in portion Stone and Brick Masonry of Construction & Building Materials

Answer»

Correct option is (b) Joggle joint

To EXPLAIN: In Tongued and grooved joint, a PROJECTION is KEPT on one stone and corresponding sinking is provided in the other SIDE as shown in above figure. This arrangement prevents the sliding of one stone over the other. This joint is also known as a Joggle joint and is rarely used as it involves a great DEAL of labour and thus becomes expensive.
