Why should mortar not be stronger than the brick?
There's a saying that "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link", and pretty much the same goes for a brick and mortar wall. If the mortar is stronger than the brick, all that would happen if the wall would be put under heavy pressure is that the bricks would crack instead of the mortar. On top of that, cracked mortar is a lot easier to remove & replace than cracked bricks. Ideally you want the mortar to be just a tiny bit weaker than the bricks. You get a wall that's almost at it's max strength, but easy to repair.

What is the cement to plaster ratio for a brick wall surfaces?
Hi there, I would use a 5-1 ratio of sand to cement and use a good mortar plastisier. Use plastering sand and mix well. Throughly soak the wall first and apply a light coat (scratch coat) Leave this to dry for a while and before it has completely dried, get the final coat on. Too much water on the wall will result poor bond between the Brick masonry and the plaster on account of lack of suction which is the primary mechanism by virtue of which the Cement Plaster will remain in position against the gravitational force.
What do you call the plaster mould between the ceiling and the wall?
