	%X This paper presents part of a research into the small
scale modelling of masonry. Small scale testing of masonry has been
carried out by many authors, but few have attempted a systematic
determination of the parameters that affect masonry at a small scale.
The effect of increasing mortar strength and different sand gradings
under compression were investigated. The results show masonry
strength at small scale is influenced by increasing mortar strength and
different sand gradings.
