    Mukesh Kumar Shankhwar
    Brick is a basic building material used in construction. It is typically rectangular in shape with a length to breadth ratio of 2. Standard brick size according to BIS is 190mm x 90mm x 90mm. Working or nominal brick size including mortar joints is 200mm x 100mm x 100mm. Brick masonry involves laying bricks in mortar in a systematic way to form a strong, homogeneous structure. Key parts of a brick include beds, headers, stretchers and frogs. Mortar joints are used horizontally and vertically between bricks. Various types of bricks include solid, perforated, frogged and cellular bricks.

    Brick:

    • Brick is a basic building unit which is in the


    form of rectangular block
    • in which length to breadth ratio is 2
    • but height can be different.
    • Standard size(BIS)
    190mmx90mmx90mm
    • Working size with mortar(Nominal size)
    200mmx100mmx100mm
    Brick Masonary:

    The art of laying bricks in mortar in a


    proper systematic manner gives
    homogeneous mass which can withstand
    forces without disintegration, called brick
    masonary.
    Terminology:

    The surfaces of a brick have names:


     Top and bottom surfaces are beds.
     Ends are headers and header faces.
     Sides are stretchers or stretcher faces.
    Brick Sizes:

    • Standard size(BIS)
    190mmx90mmx90mm

    • Working size with mortar(Nominal size)


    200mmx100mmx100mm
    Brick Sizes:
    The coordinating dimensions- are a measure
    of the physical space taken up by a brick together
    with the mortar required on one bed , one header
    face and one stretcher face.
    The working dimensions- are the sizes to which
    manufacturers will try to make the bricks.
     Methods of manufacture for many units and
    components are such that the final piece is not
    quite the size expected but it can fall within the
    defined limits.
     This can be due to the things like shrinkage,
    distortion when drying out, firing etc.
    • The difference between the working and
    coordinating dimensions of a brick is 10mm
    (0.5“).

    • Difference is taken up with the layer of


    mortar into which the bricks are pressed
    when laying.

    • The working dimensions are also known as


    the nominal size of a brick.
    Frog:
    The depression provided in the face of a
    brick during its manufacturing.
    Depth of frog in a brick is10 to 20mm.
    Frog should be upward.

    Course:
    Each horizontal layer of bricks laid in
    mortar in any brick work is called coarse.
    Mortar Joints:

    Mortar placed horizontally below or on the


    top of a brick is called a bed. Mortar
    placed vertically between bricks is called a
    perpend.
    Bats:
    • The portions made by cutting standard
    bricks across their width are known as
    brick bats.
    • These are named according their fraction
    of full length of a standard brick.
    Closers:

    • The portions made by cutting across their


    length in such a manner that their one
    stretcher face remains uncut or half cut.

    • Queen closer King closer


    Quoins:

    • The external corners of walls are called


    quoins
    • The brick which form the external corner is
    known as quoin brick.
    •

    I. Solid bricks
    Solid brick shall
    not have holes,
    cavities or
    depressions.
    II. Perforated bricks
    Perforated brick shall
    have holes not
    exceeding the 25% of
    the gross volume of the
    brick; minimum 30%
    solid across the width
    of brick.
    III. Frogged bricks
    Frogged bricks
    shall have
    depressions in
    one or more bed
    faces but their
    total volume shall
    not exceed 20%
    of gross volume of
    a brick.
    IV.Cellular Bricks
    Cellular Bricks have cavities or
    depressions exceeding 20% of the volume
    in total.
