Gap filling
As mentioned in Contact surface, the contact surface is the geometric locus where the transfer of forces between voussoirs occurs. This force transfer is effective where contact where physical contact occurs; roughness or lack of fabrication accuracy might negate full contact, diminishing the force transfer efficiency. Using mortar to fill these gaps ensures an even compression force transfer, contributing to the stereotomic structure stability.
