Definitions of terms brick masonry Brick masonry  is a highly durable form of construction.It is built by placing  bricks  in mortar in a systematic manner to construct solid mass that withstand exerted loads.There are several types of  bricks  and number of mortars which can be used to construct  brick masonry . 1. Course: A course is a horizontal layer of bricks or stones. 2. Bed: it is the surface of stone perpendicular to the line of pressure. It indicates the lower surface of  bricks or stones in each course. 3. Back: the inner surface of a wall which is not exposed is called the back. The material forming the  back is known as backing. 4. Face: The exterior of wall exposed to weather is known as face. The material used in the face of the  wall is known as facing. 5. Hearting: It is the interior portion of a wall between the facing and backing. 6. Side: it is the surface forming the boundary of bricks or stones in a direction trans...

POINTING:- The material of mortar cement and sand, or lime and surkhi or kankar lime as specified shall be of standard specifications. The materials of mortar shall be measured with wooden measuring boxes according to the required proportions such as (1:2 or l:3) for cement sand mortar and (1:1) for the lime surkhi mortar kankar lime mortar and shall be mixed dry by turning 2 to 3 times. The for e is then added slowly and gradually and mixed the mortar thoroughly.  Where possible, independent scaffolding shall be provided. Scaffolding shall be cheeked to make sure that it is suitable and safe.  What is  pointing  and how does it work?  Pointing  is the term given to the 'finish' that is between the bricks or stone used to build your house. ... The  function  of the mortar in the wall is to act as a bedding between stones and varies from fine joints in ashlar stonework to larger joints in rubble masonry walls. Pointing, in building  mainte...

BRICK MASONRY CONSTRUCTION Good  brick masonry  should utilize  bricks  which are sound, hard, well burnt and tough with uniform colour shape and size. 2. The  bricks  should be compact, homogeneous, free from holes, cracks, flaws, air-bubbles and  stone  lumps. These  bricks  should be properly soaked in water for at least two hours before use. A  brick  is  building  material used to make walls, pavements and other elements in masonry  construction . Traditionally, the term  brick  referred to a unit composed of clay, but it is now used to denote rectangular units made of clay-bearing soil, sand, and lime, or concrete materials. English  bond  is considered as the  strongest  and most widely used brick  bond  in construction work. It consists of alternate course of headers and stretchers. In this arrangement, vertical joints in the header and stretcher courses come over e...

No. of Bricks Required for 1 cum. Brick Masonry = 500 no's. Materials Required for 1 cum. Brick Masonry in 1:5 Ratio. Cement =  1.474 Bags  =  73.70 Kg Sand     = 0.2561 cum.  =   9.043 Cft Note: 500 Bricks are Required for 1 cum.Brick Masonry. Volume = 1 Cum. Taking standard Mortar Thickness = 10mm Cement –Sand Ratio = 1:5 = 1 + 5 = 6 Sum of Ratio. We know that, Size of a Modular Brick = 190mm x 90mm x90mm Volume of 1 Brick with Mortar  = 200mm x 100mm x 100mm = 0.2 x 0.1 x 0.1 m =  0.002 Cum Therefore, Number of Bricks in 1 Cum  = 1/ 0.002...

How   To Calculate Quantity of Blocks. Volume of wall = L x B x H                           = 6 x 0.152 x 3 = 2.736 cum. Volume of One Block Without Mortar = 0.405 x 0.152 x 0.200 = 0.012312 cum. Volume of One Block With Mortar = 0.430 x 0.152 x 0.225 = 0.014706 cum. No of Blocks =   Volume of Wall / Volume of One Block With Mortar                        = 2.736 / 0.014706 = 186 Nos Blocks Volume of Total Blocks = No's of Blocks X Volume of One Block Without Mortar                                            = 186 x 0.012312...

One Way Slab Vs Two Way Slab | Difference Between One Way Slab and Two Way Slab. One Way Slab. One way slab is supported on two opposite side only thus structural action is only at one direction. Total load is carried in the direction perpendicular to the supporting beam. If a slab is  supported on all the four sides but the ratio of longer span (l) to shorten span (b) is greater than  2, then the slab will be considered as one way slab. Because due to the huge difference in  lengths, load is not transferred to the shorter beams. Main reinforcement is provided in only one  direction for one way slabs. Two Way Slab. Two way slabs are the slabs that are supported on four sides and the ratio of longer span (l) to  shorter span (b) is less than 2. In two way slabs, load will be carried in both the directions. So,  main reinforcement is provided in both direction for two way slabs. Difference Between One Way Slab and Two Way Slab. There are some b...

Required dry material for 1 cum. Cement Concrete 1:4:8 Ratio in Foundation. Solution:- Ratio = 1:4:8 (Cement, Sand, Aggregates) Sum = 1+4+8 = 13 Total Dry Mortar for 1 cum Cement Concrete = 1.54 cum. Note. VOLUME OF CEMENT BAG IN CUBIC FEET (CFT) since,   1 m³ = 35.3147 cubic feet = 28.80 No. of bags ∴ Volume of one cement bag = 35.3147/28.80 =  1.226 CFT (cubic feet) Therefor the Following Materials are Required:- Cement = 1 x 1.54 x 28.8 / 13 = 3.31 Bags Sand     = 4 x 1.54 / 13 = 0.47 cum. Aggregates = 8 x 1.54 / 13 = 0.94 cum. Cement =  3.31 Bags  Sand     = 0.47 cum. Aggregates = 0.94 cum.

Assume: Wall = 1m Length, 1m height Mortar Ratio = 1:6 Plaster Thickness = 12 mm =0.012 m Constants: Density of Cement = 1440 kg/m3 1 cum = 35.3147 cuft. So: Volume of Mortar = 1 x  1 x 0.012 = 0.012 cum. (Wet Volume) Dry Volume of Mortar = 0.012 x 1.30 = 0.0156 cum.   Quantity of Cement = 1/7 x 0.0156 x 1440 = 3.21 kg = 0.064 Bags Quantity of Sand     = 6/7 x 0.0156 x 35.3147 = 0.47 cuft. The recommended  thickness  of cement  plastering  is given below. Recommended  thickness  of  plastering  for brick  walls  is 12 MM, 15 MM or 20 MM. 12 MM  thick  cement  plaster  is done where the plain surface of brick masonry is  plastered . 15 MM cement  plaster  is required on the rough side of 9” and 4.5”  wall .

FIELD TESTS ON CEMENT Field tests on cements are carried to know the quality of cement supplied at site. It gives some idea  about cement quality based on colour, touch and feel and other tests. The following are the field tests on cement: (a) The colour of the cement should be uniform. It should be grey colour with a light greenish shade. (b) The cement should be free from any hard lumps. Such lumps are formed by the absorption of  moisture from the atmosphere. Any bag of cement containing such lumps should be rejected. (c) The cement should feel smooth when touched or rubbed in between fingers. If it is felt rough, it  indicates adulteration with sand. (d) If hand is inserted in a bag of cement or heap of cement, it should feel cool and not warm. (e) If a small quantity of cement is thrown in a bucket of water, the particles should float for some  time before it sink. (f) A thick paste of cement with water is made on a piece of glass plate and it is kep...
