Introduction ( stretcher bonding )

1. Stretcher bond was a combination of two bond which is Flemish and

Englishbond.

2. The simplest systems of laying bricks and consist of all stretcher.

3. It is used commonly in cavity wall, veneer wall, and facing tile wall construction.

4. Typically used for bonding brick side wall partitions, wall toilet, wall of frames

structures.

5. Flemish bond constantly have vertical connection.

6. It is not a powerful have a low strength.

7. Flemish bond are divided into 2 (two) which is twin and single.

8. Flemish bond more to decorative not strong as Engish bond.

Objectives

For this task that was given by our lectures the a few things that we need to achieve to

scores and complete this task. Report are one of important thing which is as a evidence for us

to submit it to our lectures. Before we start doing our task lecture input one of important

things which it can help us to complete the task that already given to us. This shows the

objective that we need to achieve to scores the task given :

1. Identify and explain types of tools and how to use all the tools.

2. Identify and explain the safety precautions in laboratory.

3. Understands the basic concept on brickwork and mortar.

Materials / Apparatus

Spirit level tool

Designed to indicate whether a surface is horizontal or vertical. Different types of spirit level

have their own function.

Bucket Ladle / Scope

Mortar

Is a workable paste used to bind construction block together and fill the gaps between them.

Facing bricks.

Spatula

Angles L shape.

Procedures

1. Get all the equipment from the locker.

2. Get the mortar and follow the ratio for mortar which mix it with water.

3. Blend the water and mortar for a few minutes until it fused together.li

4. Prepared all the brick that we need to use and starts count how many brick that we

wanted to used.

5. Put some mortar on the ground before apply the first layer of brick which is

Flemish bond and English bond combines.

6. Identify whether the level of brick balanced by using spirit level, use an angles to

make sure the angle accurate as follow which is 90 degree.

7. For the second layer, put some mortar on the top of first layer before we put some

brick on the surface.

8. Identify whether the level of brick balanced by using spirit level, use an angles to

make sure the angle accurate as follow the first layer which is 90 degree.

9. Make an adjustment if the level not not balanced, to identify whether the level

balance or not we use spirit level to justify the level of the brick.

10. Get all the apparatus or stuff and put it in one places, to neat the workplaces.

11. After clean up the workplaces, we need to clean up the apparatus before put it

back inside the locker.

Procedures

Discussion

1. List the terminologies in bricklaying.

Stretcher— A masonry unit laid flat on its bedalong the length of a wall with its

face parallel tothe face of the wall. Header— A masonry unit laid flat on its

bedacross the width of a wall with its faceperpendicular to the face

of the wall. It isgenerally used to bond two wythes. Rowlock— A header

laid on its face or edgeacross the width of a wall. Bull header— A rowlock

brick laid with its bedperpendicular to the face of the wall. Bull stretcher— A

rowlock brick laid with itsbed parallel to the face of the wall. Soldier— A brick

laid on its end with its faceperpendicular to the face of the

wall.BRICKTERMINOLOGYStandard U.S. bricks are 2 1/4 by 3 3/4 by 8

inchesnominal size. They may have three core holes or tencore holes. Modular

U.S. bricks are 2 1/4 by 3 5/8 by7 5/8 inches nominal size. They usually have

three coreholes. English bricks are 3 by 4 1/2 by 9 inches, Romanbricks are 1 1/2

by 4 by 12 inches, and Norman bricksare 2 3/4 by 4 by 12 inches nominal size.

Actual brickdimensions are smaller, usually by an amount equal toa mortar joint

width. Bricks weigh from 100 to 150pounds per cubic foot, depending on

the ingredientsand duration of firing. Fired brick is heavier thanunderburned

brick. The six surfaces of a brick arecalled cull, beds, side, end, and face, as

shown in figure4-2.Occasionally you will have to cut brick intovarious

shapes to fill in spaces at corners and otherlocations where a full brick

does not fit. Figure 4-3shows the more common cut shapes which follow

Conclusion

There a lot of things we learn from this task whereby it is something new that we never

do it this before or practise on it. From this task we get the knowledge which is know the

principles of bricks. Besides that indicates types of bond use for joint the brick. Know the

name of material use for the construction which is the apparatus that use for brickwork.
