In brickwork, an arrangement of bricks is called a bond. A brick laid so that its long side is exposed to view is called a stretcher; one that is laid with its end exposed is called a header. Different arrangements of headers and stretchers make different kinds of bonds. Various arrangemen...
Lintels built of wood, stone, brick, reinforced brickwork, reinforced concrete, or rolling steel pieces embedded in cement concrete. Lintels are typically employed for load-bearing purposes, although they can also use as decorative elements. The lintel is a beam put over openings like windows, ...
The aim of this paper is to assess the mechanical behavior of brickwork multi-ring masonry arch bridges constructed with different bond types. Based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM), a series of two-dimensional numerical models of masonry arch bridges were developed and validated against ...
This also ensures lightness of water against any heat. Mortars are used asplasteror impermeablecoatingfor walls androofs. For different sorts of painting work to secure the joints of blocks. It uses to conceal the open joints of brickwork and stonework. ...
If you see a crack in a brick wall it's more likely due to movement in the structure, a support problem, or due to thermal expansion. Watch out: Cracks in structural brick walls may be very serious if the bond courses are broken as there is then a risk of sudden catastrophic wall co...
The flexur al strength of masonry. which can be defined both parallel and perpendicular to bed joints. is an important strength parameter especially in lightly loaded walls. d'ue to scarcity of conventional masonry materials and energy related issues associated with them. alternative masonry materials...
