    Brick

    Types Of Bonds
    Stretcher bond – Running Bond
    — Every course consists of stretchers with
    exception of a half bat which is placed at the
    stopped end of the wall at each alternate
    course, so that the work will break joint as Figure -1a
    shown in figure-1a
    — If two walls meet at right angles the half bats
    are replaced by headers of the perpendicular
    wall shown in figure-1b
    — Cannot make effective bonding with adjacent
    bricks in full width thick brick walls
    — Suitable only for one-half brick thick walls
    such as partition and cavity walls, boundary
    walls, garden walls.
    — Not suitable for longer spans and heights. Figure -1b
    — Used in steel or concrete framed structures
    Header bond – Heading bond
    — Each course of a wall consists of headers only for construction of walls
    of full brick thickness
    — The overlap is kept equal to half width of the brick .for which three
    quarter brick bats are used in alternate courses as quoins.
    — It is used chiefly in the construction of footings and walls which are
    sharply curved where the long faces of stretchers would unduly break
    the line of the curve.
    English bond
    — This consists of alternate courses of
    header and stretchers.
    — In each heading course a queen
    closer is placed as the second last
    brick next to the quoin header and the
    remaining bricks are all headers.
    — Every alternate header in a course is
    placed centrally over the joint between
    two stretchers in the course below,
    giving a lap of 56mm.
    — The comparative lack of straight joints
    gives english bond its characteristic
    strength.
    English bond
    Flemish bond
    — It is also known as Dutch bond, has been considered the most
    decorative bond.
    — It is created by alternately laying headers and stretchers in a
    single course.
    — This bond is one brick thick. It is quite difficult to lay Flemish
    bond properly, since for best effect all the perpendiculars
    (vertical mortar joints) need to be vertically aligned
    Flemish bond
    Single Flemish bond

    — Consists of a facing of Flemish bond with a backing of


    english bond in each course.
    — It is adopted where expensive facing bricks are required to
    give the characteristics appearance of Flemish bond and
    where comparatively cheaper brick are used as a backing.
    — This bond cannot be applied to walls which are less than
    1½ brick thick.
    — Half bats are used which are known as snap header of
    false headers.
    Single Flemish bond
    Double Flemish bond

    — Shows the characteristics appearance of Flemish on both


    external and internal faces.
    — Each header comes centrally over a stretcher and unlike
    English bond, no header comes over a vertical face joint.
    — It is not so strong as English bond because of the large
    number of short continuous vertical joints.
    — Double Flemish bond has a more pleasing appearance.
    Double Flemish bond
    Rat-trap bond

    — It is also known as Chinese bond, is a type of garden wall


    bond in which the stretchers and headers are laid on their
    sides, with the base of the stretcher facing outwards. This
    gives a wall with an internal cavity bridged by the headers,
    hence the name.
    — The main advantage of this bond is economical use of
    bricks, constructing a wall of one brick thickness with fewer
    bricks than a solid bond. It is famous for its insulation
    properties offered by the air cavity.
    Rat-trap bond
    Rat-trap bond
    — Also, many brick walls surrounding
    kitchen gardens were designed with
    cavities so hot air could circulate in
    the winter, warming fruit trees or
    other produce spread against the
    walls, causing them to bloom earlier
    and forcing early fruit production.
    — When the walls of a building meet at
    an angle other than a right angle,
    the quoin is known as a “squint”
    quoin and may be either acute or
    obtuse
    Brick Piers
    — Brick piers are vertical structures that typically act as supports for
    walls that they are built into, or for construction built on top of
    them. Historically, these were widely used, in some locales, as
    foundations for houses. Other types of foundations that are
    stronger, however, have been developed over time. Since this is
    the case, construction using brick piers in building foundations is
    generally no longer utilized. It is still commonly used in walls, and
    to support structures, such as pergolas.
    — Frequently, brick piers are built to be freestanding. This means
    that they are isolated pillars not connected to any other structure.
    A freestanding brick pier can be used for many things, such as a
    light post, a support for a gate or mailbox, or as a decorative
    element at the end of a driveway. Oftentimes, these piers are
    built as monuments, sometimes with inscribed commemorative
    plaques attached to them

    Bonds and Connections

    — The walls in different directions are to be united at


    certain places
    — The three requirements to be satisfied by bond at a
    connection are:
    ü The vertical joints should not be continuous.
    ü The number of broken bricks should be reduced.
    ü The connection should be structurally strong enough to resist the
    differential settlement, if any.
    — These are the two forms of connections
    — Junctions
    — Quoins.
    Bonds and Connections

    — These are the two forms of connections


    — Junctions
    — Quoins.
    Junctions
    — A connection between a main wall and a partition wall
    is termed as a junction

    — Junctions are classified in two categories:

    ü Right angled junctions


    ü Squint junction.

    — Right angled junction:

    — This type of junction has two forms:


    ü Tee-junctions
    ü Cross-junction or intersection
