This paper analyses the influence of mortar strength on mechanical behavior ceramic and concrete structural masonry blocks. Experimental tests uniaxial compression were carried out blocks as well prisms, with strengths lower, higher within limits Brazilian standard recommendation. The characteristic resistance prisms (fpk) was lower than (fbk) in all combinations. lowest decreases occurred for both materials indicated by standard. In addition, more sensitive to variation when compared
