The document discusses the history and development of brick masonry. It begins with the earliest uses of mud bricks and stone masonry in ancient civilizations. Over time, techniques improved with the introduction of kiln-fired bricks, mortars, bonding patterns, and reinforced structures. Modern developments include hollow-core bricks, cavity walls, and high-strength materials that have expanded the uses of masonry in construction. The document also covers manufacturing processes for clay bricks as well as terminology, bonding styles, and structural components used in brick masonry walls.
