LECTURE NO. 1 BY ENGR RAHAT ULLAH  BRICK MASONRY PART 3 2.SINGLE FLEMISH BOND The bond provided in a wall with Flemish bond facing and English bond in backing is called Single Flemish bond. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SINGLE FLEMISH BOND It provides better appearance. It can be made more economical by using cheap quality of bricks on the back of the wall. It weakens the overall strength of the wall because of maximum use of brick bats and existence of continuous vertical joints. It cannot be provide in walls having thickness less than one and half brick.

LECTURE NO. 1 BY ENGR RAHAT ULLAH  BRICK MASONRY PART 2 DAMP PROOF COURSE  A damp proof course (dpc) is a layer of impermeable material built into the wall to prevent upward migration of ground water. Once in position, the brick laying continues as normal, covering the dpc with a bed of mortar and then laying the first course of bricks above dpc.  it costs very little and guarantees a longer life for the wall, as damp cannot rise above the dpc to saturate the facing brickwork. Rich plain or reinforced concrete with surface sprayed with bitumen is most commonly used for dpc. The use of polythene sheet should be avoided since it does not make adequate bond and act as a separation between upper and lower portion of...
