Header Bond in Brick Masonry Wall

 *Header Bond in Brick Masonry Wall

  • Header bond is the one in which all the bricks are laid as headers (It is the shorter face of brick i,e 9cm X 9cm ) on the faces of walls.
  • This pattern is used only when the thickness of wall is equal to one brick (i,e 19 cm).
  • Overlap is usually kept equal to half the width of brick (i,e 4.5 cm).
  • It is achieved by using three-quarter brick bats in each alternate courses as quoins.
  • This bond does not have strength to transmit pressure in the direction of the length of the wall , it is unsuitable for load bearing walls.
  • It is useful for curved brick work .

WORKABILITY OF CONCRETE - AS PER IS-456-2000

WORKABILITY OF CONCRETE - AS PER IS-456-2000 The concrete mix proportions chosen should be such that the concrete is of adequate workability for the placing conditions of the concrete and can properly be compacted with the means available. Placing Conditions Degree of Workability Slump(mm) Blinding concrete; Shallow sections & Pavements using pavers   Very low In the ‘very low’ category of workability where strict control is necessary, for example pavement quality concrete, measurement of workability by determination of compacting factor will be more appropriate than slump ( see IS 1199 ) and a value of compacting factor of 0.75 to 0.80 is suggested. Mass concrete, Lightly reinforced sections in slabs, beams, walls, columns, Floors; Hand placed pavements; Canal lining; Strip footings     Low     25-75 Heavily reinforced sections in s...

What is characteristic strength of concrete in flexure ?

Blog By Er. Navneet Kumar What is characteristic strength of concrete in flexure ?  πŸ‘‰Characteristic strength of concrete is the value of strength of concrete below which not more than  5 % of test results are expected to fail.               It is denoted by fck.                                                           fck = fm- 1.65Οƒ        Where fm= Target mean strength & Οƒ = standard deviation. Note- πŸ‘‰Concrete is designated by characteristic cube strength of concrete at 28 days. πŸ‘‰No material is truly homogeneous , so strength of similar concrete varies in different testing. πŸ‘‰For most of the engineering materials ,probability is symmetrical about mean and such a curve is called Normal Probability distribution curve.               ...
