    Brick masonry involves constructing walls using brick units bonded together with mortar. There are different types of bonds used - English bond and Flemish bond - which involve alternating rows of headers and stretchers. Joints between bricks are also important and can be weathered, concave, vee or flush. Brick masonry has advantages like durability, fire resistance and ease of construction compared to stone masonry. However, defects can occur due to sulphate attack, salt crystallization or corrosion of embedded metals.

    •Header
    Brick which is laid with its length perpendicular to the face of the
    wall.

    •Stretcher
    Full brick which is laid with its length parallel to the face of the wall.

    •Course
    Horizontal layer of brick.

    •Header course
    Course of brick work fully composed of header

    Closer
    Portion of brick cut in such a manner that one long face remains uncut.

    King closer
    Brick is cut in such a way that the width of its end is half of full brick.

    Queen closer
    Brick is half as wide as a full brick.

    Half Bat
    Portion of brick cut half across the width.

    Bevelled closer
    It is similar to king closer with the only difference that the whole length
    of he brick is bevelled.

    Brick work in mud

    •The mud is used to fill up the joints


    •Thickness of the mortar joint is 12 mm.
    •cheapest.
    •Maximum height of wall is 4 m.
    Brick work in cement
     I class
    • Cement or lime mortar is used.
    •The surfaces and edges of bricks are sharp.
    •The thickness of mortar joints doesn’t exceed 10 mm.

     II class
    •Ground moulded bricks are used .
    •Bricks are rough and shape is slightly irregular.
    •The thickness of mortar joint is 12 mm.

     III class
    •Bricks are not hard , rough surface with distorted
    shape.
    •Used for temporary structures.
    •Used in places where rainfall is not heavy.
    Mortar Functions
     Provides for full bearing
     Seals between masonry units
     bonds masonry units

    BONDS
    English bond

    •In general practice this type of bond is used.


    •It consists of alternate courses of headers and
    stretchers .
    •Considered as strongest bond in brick work
    •For breaking vertical joints queen closer is placed
    after first header

    Flemish bond
    •Each course consists alternate headers and
    stretchers.
    •Not as strong as English bond.
    •Alternate course starts with a header at the
    corner.
    •For breaking of vertical joints , closers are
    inserted in alternate courses next to the
    quoin header.

    JOINTS IN BRICK MASONRY

     Joint
     Weathered Joint: Mortar joint has sloped (downwards) edge.
     Concave joint: Joint concave inwards.
     Vee joint: mortar joint is in the form of a V.
     Flush Joint: Mortar joint is flush with the brick surfaces.
     Raked Joint: A large portion of the mortar joint is raked out -
    Not a safe, impermeable joint.
     Struck Joint: Mortar joint has a sloped (upwards) edge.

    Advantages of brick masonry
    The brick masonry is cheaper as compared to stone
    masonry.
    Bonding strength is very good.
    In brick work , the mortar joints are thin and hence
    the structure becomes more durable.
    No complicated lifting devices are necessary in brick
    work.
    Brick work can be done by the less skilled labours
    also.
    In Brick work good quality of bricks posses good
    fire resistance.
    Due to regular size of bricks they are easy to handle.
    Defects in brick masonry
     Sulphate attack
    Sulphate salts present in bricks work react with alumina content of
    cement .
    It occur in boundary walls

     Crystallization of salts from bricks


    Occur in masonry made out of brick which contain excessive soluble
    salts
    This phenomenon is also known as efflorescence.

     Corrosion of embedded iron or steel


    Iron or steel embedded in brick work gets corroded in the presence of
    dampness
    On corrosion the metal expands in volume and tends to crack the brick
    work.
