Retaining walls are an integral part of any sea facing structure or structures which contain single or multiple basements. The PPT gives a general idea about retaining walls and also focuses on a case study of the retaining wall along the Worli Seaface in Mumbai, India.
Masonry is generally a highly durable form of construction. However, the materials used, the quality of the mortar and workmanship, and the pattern in which the units are assembled can significantly affect the durability of the over all masonry construction.
Masonry is the building of structures from individual units laid in and bound together by mortar; the term masonry can also refer to the units themselves.

Brick masonry, stone masonry and its manufacturingAdarshChatra1
Brick masonry is made of brick units bonded together with
mortar
• Components: i) Bricks ii) Mortar
• Mortar Act as a cementing material and units the individual
brick units together to act as a homogeneous mass
Cement mortar
Mud mortar
Lime mortar
Lime-surkhi mortar
1.Stretcher
• Brick laid with its length parallel to the front or direction of a wall.
• The course containing stretchers is called a stretcher course
2.Header
• Brick laid with its breadth or width parallel to the front or direction of the wall.
• Course containing headers is called a header course
3.Arrises
• Edges formed by the intersection of plane surfaces of brick
4. Bed
• Lower surface of the brick when laid flat
5. Bed joint
• Horizontal layer of mortar upon which the bricks are
laid
6. Perpends
• Vertical joints separating bricks in either length or cross directions
• For good bond, perpends in alternate courses should be vertically one
above the other
7. Lap
• Horizontal distance between the vertical joints in successive courses
• For good bond, lap should not be less than one-fourth of a brick
8. Closer
• Piece of brick with the cut made longitudinally used to close
up the bond at the end of brick courses
• Helps in preventing the joints of successive courses to come
in a vertical line
• Generally closer is not specially moulded but it is
prepared by the mason with the edge of the trowel
9. Queen closer
• Obtained by cutting the brick longitudinally
in 2 equal parts
10. King closer
• Obtained by cutting a triangular portion of the brick such that half a header
and half a stretcher are obtained on adjoining cut faces
• Used near door and window openings
11. Bevelled closer
• Obtained by cutting a triangular portion of half the width but of full length
• Used for splayed brickwork
12. Mitred closer
• Obtained by cutting a triangular portion of the brick through its width and
making an angle of 45-60 degree with the length of brick
• Used at corners, junctions etc.
13. Bat
• It is portion of brick cut across the width
14.Bullnose
• Brick moulded with a rounded angle
• Used for a rounded quoin
external angle on the face side of wall
15.Cownose
• Brick moulded with a double bullnose on end
16. Frog
• Is a mark of depth about 10-20mm which is placed
brick to form a key for holding the mortar
Method of arranging the bricks in courses
• Individual units are tied together and the vertical joints of the successive
courses do not lie in same vertical line
• Bond types are distinguished by their elevation
• Bond types:
i. Stretcher bond v. English cross bond
ii. Header bond vi. Dutch bond
iii. English bond vii. Brick on edge bond
iv. Flemish bond viii. Raking bond
ix. Garden wall bond
1. Stretcher bond
• All bricks are laid with their lengths in the longitudinal direction of the
wall; Thickness = half brick
• Only stretcher is visible in elevation
• Use: partition wall, sleeper walls
2. Header bond
• All bricks are laid as headers towards the face of the wall.
• Suitable for one b
This is a write-up on the Basics of masonry construction. This write-up, with the help of pictures, briefly describes the tools used in masonry construction, procedures used in construction and some special considerations for masonry construction. I wrote this during my "Details of Construction" course.
2. Masonry
Masonry means construction of
buildings using building blocks like
stone, bricks, concrete blocks etc.
Masonry is used for the construction
of foundation, walls and columns.
Mortar is the binding material for the
building blocks.
3. BRICK MASONRY
Brick masonry is built with bricks
bonded together with mortar.
For temporary purposes mud mortar
may be used but for all permanent
buildings cement mortars are used.
4. Technical Terms
Brick :
Masonry unit in the form of a
rectangular block made of clay. 19 x 9 x
9 cm size.
Brick Tile :
Thickness comparatively less than that
of a brick. 19 x 9 x 3 cm size.
Frog :
Depression provided in the face of a
brick .
6. Cont…
Queen Closer :
The portion of a standard brick made
by cutting it across the length into two
equal parts is called Queen Closer.
7. Cont…
King Closer :
The portion of a standard brick made
by cutting off the triangular piece
between the center of one header and
one stretcher face.
8. Cont…
Bevelled Closer :
The portion of a standard brick made
by cutting off the triangular piece
between the center of one header face
and the opposite corner of the stretcher
face.
9. Cont…
Mitered Closer :
The portion of a standard brick having
its one end cut through or mitered for
the full width.
11. Bonding in Brickwork
The process of arranging bricks in
different courses in order to tie them
together in unified mass of brickwork is
called bonding in brickwork.
12. Types of Bonds
The various types of bonds generally
used in brick masonry are
I. Stretcher bond
II. Header bond
III. English bond
IV. Flemish bond etc
13. Stretcher Bond
A stretcher is the longer face of the
brick as seen in the elevation.
In the brick of size 190 mm × 90 mm ×
90 mm, 190 mm × 90 mm face is the
stretcher.
In stretcher bond masonry all the
bricks are arranged in stretcher
courses
14. Cont..
However care should be taken to
break vertical joints.
This type of construction is useful for
the construction of half brick thick
partition wall.
16. Header Bond
A header is the shorter face of the
brick as seen in the elevation.
In a standard brick it is 90 mm × 90
mm face.
In header bond brick masonry all the
bricks are arranged in the header
courses
17. Cont..
This type of bond is useful for the
construction of one brick thick walls.
18. English Bond
In this alternate courses consist of
headers and stretchers.
This is considered to be the strongest
bond.
Hence it is commonly used bond for
the walls of all thicknesses.
19. Cont..
To break continuity of vertical joints a
brick is cut lengthwise into two halves
and used in the beginning and end of
a wall after first header. This is called
queen closer.
20. Flemish Bond
In this type of bond each course
comprises of alternate header and
stretcher.
Alternate courses start with stretcher
and header.
To break the vertical joints queen
closers are required, if a course starts
with header.
22. Points to be Observed in
Supervising Brick Masonry
ConstructionsThe following points should be observed in the
construction of brick masonry:
Use bricks of good quality with uniform
colour, well burnt, with exact shape and size.
Before using the bricks in masonry, they
should be soaked in water for 2 hours so that
bricks do not absorb water from the mortar.
Bricks should be laid with the frog pointing
upward.
Construction of brick wall should start from
the end or corner.
Brick courses should be perfectly horizontal.
23. Cont…
Mortar used should be as per
specification.
Brick masonry should be regularly
cured for 2 weeks.
For carrying out brick work at higher
levels, only single scaffolding should
be used.
