STEPS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
Paper work
Marking of Layout
Excavation
Foundation work
Casting of columns
Construction of walls
Lintel
Roofing
Plastering work
Tiles laying
Fixing of doors and windows
Fixing of electrical and plumbing works
Finishing works
• Other than all these above mentioned works there are other works
that are carried as per the requirement of the consumer and design
engineer
• Terrace waterproofing
• Landscaping works
• False ceiling
• Installation of furniture
Plastering work
Y
 Masonry- Construction using building units bonded together with
mortar
 Different Masonry Units

 Stones
 Bricks
 Precast Concrete Blocks
 In load bearing works it can provide- support to loads, partitioning,

thermal and acoustic insulation, fire and weather resistance
2
 Different types of Masonry
 Stone masonry
 Brick masonry
 Hollow Concrete block masonry
 Reinforced brick masonry
 Composite masonry
3
MORTAR
 Mortar acts as cementing material and binds individual masonry
units together to act as a homogeneous mass
 Common mortars used in Brick Masonry
 Cement mortar
 Lime mortar
 Cement-lime mortar
 Lime surkhi mortar
 Mud mortar

SOME IMPORTANT TERMS USED IN BRICK MASONRY
BRICK
 An artificial structural element in the form of a rectangular block of clay is
called a “Brick ". Bricks can be manufactured of any required shape and
size. The sizes of some standard bricks are given as follows:
COURSE
Each horizontal layer of bricks laid in mortar in a brick work is called a "course".
STRETCHER
Brick, laid with its length horizontal and parallel with the face of the wall or other masonry member is
called a "Stretcher" and a course, in which, all the bricks are laid as Stretchers is called a
“Stretching course" or "Stretcher course".
HEADER
A brick laid, so that only its end shows on the face of a wall is called a
"Header" and a course, in which all the bricks are laid as headers, is known
as "Heading Course" or "Header course".
BRICK BATS
 The pieces of bricks, cut long their length and having width equivalent to
that of a full or half brick are called "Brick bats“.
Some common Brick Bats are shown below

Rules to get a good brick
bond
 Amount of lap should be minimum one fourth brick along the length of wall
and one half brick across thickness of wall
 Bricks should be uniform in size to get uniform lap
 Stretchers should be in facing
 Use of brick bats should be discouraged except under special circumstances
 Vertical joints in the alternate courses should be along same perpend
TYPES OF BONDS
(1) ENGLISH BOND
The bond, in which headers and stretchers are laid in alternate courses, is
called "English bond".
 English bond
26
(2) FLEMISH BOND
The bond, in which headers and stretchers are laid alternately in the same course, is called "Flemish
bond".
BONDS IN BRICK WORK
 Header bond
 All bricks arranged in header courses
 Overlap is equal to half width of brick
 Does not have strength to transmit pressure in the direction of length of
wall
 Not suitable for load bearing walls, but used in curved surfaces
3

 Stretcher bond
 Useful for one brick partition

walls
 Does not develop proper internal

bond, should not be used for
walls having greater thickness
than one brick thickness

TASK
• Construct the one storey building using wooden bricks
• Draw plan and elevation of building and mention the different
components of building
