Facing
bond is used where the bricks of specific thickness are to be used in the
facing and backing of the wall.
bond is used where the bricks of specific thickness are to be used in the
facing and backing of the wall.
In this bond, a header course is provided after several stretcher courses.
As the thickness of bricks is different in the facing and backing, the vertical
distance between the successive header courses is kept equal to the least
common multiple of the thickness of backing and facing brick.
distance between the successive header courses is kept equal to the least
common multiple of the thickness of backing and facing brick.
That is, if the nominal thickness of facing bricks is 9 cm and that of backing
bricks is 10 cm, the header course is provided at a vertical interval of 90 cm.
bricks is 10 cm, the header course is provided at a vertical interval of 90 cm.
This type of bond is not structurally efficient and load distribution is not
uniform.
