  3. MASONRY LECTURE #1 (cont’t)

  4. MASONRY LECTURE #1 (cont’t) • Overview of Masonry Terminology • Brick Joints in the wall (Chapt 15-Nunnally) • Flush • Struck • Weather • Concave • Vee • Raked • Brick Sizes • Standard Modular (nominal,actual, joint thickness) • (4x2-2/3x8) (3-5/8x2-1/4x7-5/8) (3/8”) • “” (3-1/2x2-1/4x7-1/2) (1/2”) • Economy • Utility • Note: Holes are there to keep bricks light and cost effective. • Actual Sizes depends on the Manufacturer

  5. MASONRY LECTURE #1 (cont’t) • Mortar/Bond Strength • Masonry Cement Mortar is a combination of Portland Cement, • hydrated lime,& sand • Masonry Cement Mortar is used for Workability(admixture is used for air-entrainment -give mortar its fluffiness) • Bond strength is not an issue for reinforced masonry • Bond Strength is a function of water mix (the wetter the better), • depends on how mortar and units are placed(better suction) • Proportioning the mortar is done empirically (cook book method) • Blocks/bricks will normally fail first because they are taller • Prisms and Mock ups are tested before construction

  6. MASONRY LECTURE #1 (cont’t) • Mortar/Bond Strength(refer to Chapter 15-P.427) • M • A • S • O • N • W • O • R • K - only used now for tuck pointing • PM and PL used in reinforced masonry
