Bonds In Bricks:

The arrangement of bricks in brick work so that the vertical joints do not come over each other is known as brick Bond.

 

Why Brick Bonds are Provided ?

 

  • Bonds in brick work is provided to achieve a united mass as soon as practicable* to suit the length, height and thickness of brick work and stresses to which it is subjected.
  • To break the continuity of vertical joints and to provide proper bond in brick masonry portion of brick ( closers or bats) are provided in alternative courses.

 

Closers:

 

The portions made by cutting Brick across its length in such a manner that its one stretcher face remains uncut or half cut.

Below is the Diagram of king closer.

The above diagram is showing the Quoin** Closer.

Bats:


The portions mad 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.

Practicable*Able to be done Success fully.
