Tle Flashcards
refers to the structural construction of walls and other important features of a building through the use of mortar and bond materials
Masonry
Masonry materials such as are used in installing panels and in creating ornamental designs on a surface by laying masonry units in specific patterns
Bricks, granite, glass, concrete block, stucco, marble, stone , and travertine
Masonry units can be reinforced through the use of_____ to strengthen the structures
Steel ( rebar) units
Is used as a requirement for masonry servicing.

Mason’s categorized as
Exterior masons and ordinary masons
A skilled worker who builds by laying units of substantial materials such as stone or bricks
Mason
- These workers usually construct exteriors of buildings and homes, walkways, casts, walls, and blocks.
Exterior masons
These workers construct fences, walls, floors, and use different types of stones.
Ordinary masons
are set in various patterns These stones can be used as an outer surface of a wall or as a fitting of the core of a wall.
Masonry stones of varied shapes and forms
Types of Stones and Bond Patterns
Rubble
Ashlar
Random ashlar
.
- These are irregular-shaped, broken- sized, and textured stones. These are found in places when the land is ploughed or worked.
Rubble
-These are decorative and rectangular, cuboid blocks of stones with square edges and smooth surface laid in parallel courses.
. Ashlar
- These are stones of varied sizes arranged in a noncontinuous manner on walls to show a formal appearance.
Random Ashlar
These are made from fireclay and secured with mortar. come in thousands of combinations of shapes, types, colors, and textures.
Bricks
Bricks are also available in solid and cored forms or with indentations called?
Frogs
The different types of bricks are:
Common or building bricks
Face bricks
Fire bricks
Paving bricks
New used bricks
- known as slightly imperfect quality bricks.
Common or building bricks
high-quality bricks used in construction of buildings and are available in different colors and finishes.
Face bricks
- heat-resistant bricks used in fireplaces made from fireclay and mortar.
Firebricks
- used in driveways and patios, laid on a bed of sand, gravel, or concrete; they are harder and more durable than regular bricks and sized for use, with or without mortar.
Paving bricks
strong, modern bricks treated to give building structures a vintage look
. New used bricks
Gravel+ sand + water+ cement =
Concrete
Sand + water + cement=

are arranged in horizontal or vertical layer by using a string or nylon cord as a guide.
Bricklaying and Patterns
is used as a guide in making a vertical ayler of bricks using 3 to 10 millimeters thickness of mortar between layers of bricks
plumb line
is the bonding material that holds the bricks and other masonry units together.
Mortar
is crucial to the integrity of a brick structure. It seals out wind and water, anchors metal ties and steel reinforcement, and compensates for variations in brick size surfaces. It can be tooled and colored for a decorative effect.
A sound, well-mixed mortar
(CHBs) are widely used in the basic construction of many buildings because of its low cost and durability. The blocks can easily be painted and cleaned and require little upkeep. Because of its relatively large size, buildings constructed out of concrete blocks are built more quickly than brick structures.
Concrete Hollow Blocks
Bonding materials are
