In the construction of a brick wall, masonry technology can be as follows: lightweight, continuous, with a facing layer and reinforced. Consider the features of each type of masonry separately.
Continuous masonry
This type of masonry is suitable for raising the supporting walls, provided that adequate heat conservation will be ensured or the outer side of the masonry is supposed to be insulated. Made only from bricks using the solution. Characterized by the fact that it has no voids and insulation. The size of the masonry is determined depending on the requirements for the structure, and can be in one, half or a half brick.
Lighted masonry.
Suitable for the construction of low -rise buildings. The technology of such masonry lies in the construction of two walls, the thickness of each of which is? brick. The space between the walls is filled with concrete of light varieties. Instead of concrete, you can use bulk heat -insulating materials. The walls are connected by horizontal brick diaphragms located in a checkerboard pattern. The use of lightweight masonry makes the construction more economically 40-50 %.
Facing brickwork
This technology is as follows. A solution is laid out with a thickness of 1-1, 5 cm for a certain length. It is recommended to use a special template that does not allow the solution to reach the front side of the brick by 1 cm. This is facilitated by mixing a solution of a certain viscosity. A properly prepared solution will not allow the brick to push it under the influence of its own weight. Laying each row is carried out using a stretched cord. When performing such a masonry, the color of the solution must correspond to the color of the brick.
Reinforced brickwork
When performing this type of masonry, reinforcing nets are used, which are laid out in horizontal rows. You can use zigzag -shaped and rectangular nets. Sigzag -shaped nets are made of a wire with a diameter of 8 mm, the diameter of rectangular nets is 4 mm. In those places where the rectangular mesh intersects, the thickness of 8 mm is formed respectively. This calculation is explained by the fact that the seam should exceed the width of the grid by 4 mm. And since the horizontal seam on average has a size of 12 mm, therefore, the thickness of the grid should not be wider than 8 mm. Nets must be laid through every fifth row. Sigzag -shaped nets, in which the reinforcement goes in only one direction, should be located mutually perpendicular in adjacent rows.
The design of the brick wall, the construction of which meets all norms, will provide your structure with durability and reliability.
