STONE -As A Building Material.
Stones have been considered as one of the popular building material from the olden days due to their availability in abundance from the natural rocks. Building stones should possess enough strength and durability.
The stones which are suitable for the construction of the structures such as retaining walls, abutments, dams, barrages, roads etc are known as building stones.

Joints are easy to maintain and are less detrimental than uncontrolled or uneven cracks. Concrete expands & shrinks with variations in moisture and temp. The overall affinity is to shrink and this can cause cracking at an early age. Uneven cracks are unpleasant and difficult to maintain but usually do not affect the integrity of concrete.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

4. TOPICS TO BE COVERED
MASONARY CONSTRUCTION:-
A. Stone masonary.
B. Brick masonary.
C. Composite masonary.
D. Cavity walls.
E. Lintel & Arches.
5. Masonary
Masonary may defined as the construction of building
units bonded tougher with mortar.
The building units may be stones, bricks, or precast
concrete blocks.
Depending upon the types of buildings units used,
MASONARY can be classified into following categories :
A. Stone masonary.
B. Brick MASONARY.
C. Composite MASONARY.
D. Cavity walls.
E. Lintel & Arches.
6. 1. Some Important Terms Used In
Masonary :
1. STRETCHER:
A brick, laid with its length horizontal and parallel
with the face of the wall or other masonary member is
called a "Stretcher" and a course, in which, all the bricks
are laid as Stretchers is called a “Stretching course" or
"Stretcher course".
7. 2. HEADER:
A brick laid, so that only its end shows on the face of a
wall is called a "Header" and a course, in which all the
bricks are laid as headers, is known as "Heading Course"
or "Header course“.
8. 3. BOND:
Bond is the arrangement of bricks or stones in each
course, so as to ensure the greatest possible interlocking
and to avoid the continuity of vertical joints in two
successive courses, both on the face and in the body of a
wall.
4. COURSE:
Each horizontal layer of bricks laid in mortar in a
brick work is called a "course".
5. BRICK BATS :
The pieces of bricks, cut long their length and having
width equivalent to that of a full or half brick are called
"Brick bats“.
9. 6. QUEEN CLOSER:
Queen closer is a brick, which is half as wide as full
brick and is made by cutting a whole brick lengthwise into
two portions.
These are generally used next to the Quoin header for
creating bonds in brickwork.
10. 7. KING CLOSER:
A brick, whose one diagonal piece is cut off one corner
by a vertical plane passing through the center of one end to
the center of one side.
8. BEVELED CLOSER:
A brick cut longitudinally along a vertical plane,
starting at the middle of one end to the far corner.
One quarter of the brick is cut off in this way.
9. BULLNOSE :
A brick with rounded corners is called a “Bull Nose
Brick”
11.
12. 10. FROG
Froged bricks shall have depressions in one or
more bed faces but their total volume shall not
exceed 20% of gross volume of a brick.
14. STONE MASONARY
Rock, that is removed from its natural site and
generally, cut or dressed and then finished for building
purposes, is called "Stone" and the art of building the
structure with stones as constructional units is called
"Stone masonary".
Main types of stone masonary:-
(1) Rubble masonary:-
(2) Ashlar masonary:-
16. RUBBLE MASONARY
The stone masonary in which either undressed or
roughly dressed stones are laid is called "Rubble
masonary".
In this masonary, the joints of mortar are not of uniform
thickness.
The strength of rubble masonary depend on:
The Quality of Mortar.
The use of long through stones.
The proper filling of mortar between the spaces of
stones
18. In this type of masonary, the stones used are of widely
different sizes. This is the roughest and cheapest form of
stone masonary.
In coursed random rubble masonary, the masonary work
is carried out in courses such that the stones in a
particular course are of equal height.
20. In this type of masonary, the stones used are of widely
different sizes. This is the roughest and cheapest form of
stone masonary.
In un-coursed random rubble masonary, the courses are
not maintained regularly. The larger stones are laid first
and the spaces between them are then filled up by means
of spalls or sneeks.
22. In this type of masonary stones having straight bed and
sides are used. The stones are usually squared and
brought to hammer dressed or straight cut finish.
In the coursed square rubble masonary, the work is
carried out in courses of varying depth.
23. 4.POLYGONAL RUBBLE MASONARY
In this type of
rubble masonary, the
stones are hammer
dressed. The stones
used for face work are
dressed in an irregular
polygonal shape. Thus
the face joints are seen
running in an irregular
fashion in all directions.
24. 5.FLINT RUBBLE MASONARY
In this type of
masonary stone used are
flints or cobbles. These
are irregularly shaped
nodules of silica. The
stones are extremely
hard. But they are brittle
and therefore they break
easily.
25. 6.DRY RUBBLE MASONARY
In this type of
masonary, mortar is
not used in the joints.
This type of
construction is the
cheapest and requires
more skill in
construction. This may
be used for non-load
bearing walls such as
compound walls, etc…
26. ASHLAR MASONARY
The stone masonary in which finely dressed stones are
laid in cement or lime mortar, is known as "Ashlar
masonary".
In this masonary all the joints are regular, thin, and of
uniform thickness.
This type of masonary is costly in construction as
involves heavy cost of dressing of stones.
This masonary is used for heavy structures, arches,
architectural buildings, high piers, abutments of
bridges, etc.
27. 1. ASHLAR FINE MASONARY
In this type ashlar
masonary, each stone is cut
to uniform size and shape
with all sides rectangular, so
that the stone gives
perfectly horizontal and
vertical joints with
adjoining stone. This type
of ashlar masonary is very
costly.
28. 2. ASHLAR ROUGH MASONARY
In this type of ashlar
masonary, the beds and
sides are finely chisel-
dressed. But the face is
made rough by means of
tools. A strip, about 25mm
wide and made by means
of chisel is provided
around the perimeter of
the rough dressed face of
each stone.
29. 3. ROCK & QUARRY FACED
In this type of ashlar
masonary, a strip about
25mm wide and made by
means of chisel is provided
around the perimeter of
every stone as in case of
rough-tooled ashlor
masonary. But the
remaining portion of the
face is left in the same form
as received from quarry.
30. 4. ASHLAR CHAMFERED MASONARY
In this type of
ashlar masonary, the strip
is provided as below. But
it is chamfered or beveled
at an angle of 45 degrees
by means of chisel for a
depth of about 25mm.
31. 5. ASHLAR BLOCK IN COURSE MASONARY
This is
combination of rubble
masonary and ashlar
masonary. In this type of
masonary, the face work
is provided with rough
tooled or hammer
dresses stones and
backing of the wall may
be made in rubble
masonary.
32. 6. ASHLAR FACING MASONARY
If the backing is of Rubble masonary, It is called
“Rubble Ashlar" and if the backing is of brick work the
masonary is termed as “Brick Ashlar”.
34. BRICK MASONARY
Bond is the arrangement of bricks in each
course, so as to ensure the greatest possible
interlocking and to avoid the continuity of vertical
joints in two successive courses, both on the face.
and in the body of a wall.
35. TYPES OF BRICKS
Bricks used in masonary
can be of two types:-
(1) Traditional bricks.
(2) Modular bricks.
36. TYPES OF BRICK JOINTS
WEATHERED
CONCAVE
VEE
FLUSH
RAKED
STRIPPED
STRUCK
37.
38. TYPES OF BONDS
1) Stretching Bond
2) Heading Bond
3) English Bond
4) Flemish Bond
(i) Double Flemish Bond
(ii) Single Flemish Bond
5) Garden Wall Bond
(i) English Garden Wall Bond
(ii) Flemish Garden Wall Bond
6) Raking Bond
(I) Herring Bone Bond
(Ii) Diagonal Bond
7) Dutch Bond
39. 1.STRETCHING BOND
The bond in which all the bricks are laid as stretchers in
every course is called "Stretching bond”.
40. 2.HEADING BOND
The bond in which all the
bricks are laid as headers
in every course of a wall is
called "Heading bond".
This bond is commonly
used for constructing
staining of wells, footings
of walls and columns,
corbels, cornices, etc.
42. This bond consists of headers and stretchers laid in
alternative courses.
It is strongest of all the bonds.
It provides rough appearance especially for one brick
thick walls.
There are no noticeable continuous vertical joints in
the structure built in this bond.
Much attention is not required in providing this bond.
Progress of work is more.
It is costly because the use of brick bats is not allowed.
43. 4.FLEMISH BOND
The bond, in which
headers and stretchers
are laid alternately in
the same course, is
called "Flemish bond".
Two types Flemish bond:-
(i) Double Flemish Bond:-
(ii) Single Flemish Bond:-
44. (i) Double Flemish Bond:-
The bond in which headers and stretchers are laid
alternately in each course, both in the face and back of
the wall, is called Double Flemish Bond.
45. (ii) Single Flemish Bond:-
The bond provided in a
wall with Flemish bond in
facing and English bond in
backing is called "Single
Flemish bond" or "Cross
bond".
This bond combines the
advantages of both English
and Flemish bonds and
simultaneously eliminates
their disadvantages.
46. Sr
No. English Bonds Flemish bond
1 This bond consists of headers and stretchers
laid in alternative courses.
This bond consists of headers and
stretchers laid alternatively in each
course.
2 It is strongest of all the bonds. It is less strong for walls having
thickness more than 13 ½ inches.
3 It provides rough appearance especially for
one brick thick walls.
It provides good appearance for all
thickness of walls.
4 There are no noticeable continuous vertical
joints in the structure built in this bond.
There are partly continuous vertical
joints in the structure built in this bond.
5 Much attention is not required in providing
this bond.
Special attention is required in providing
this bond.
6 Progress of work is more. Progress of work is less.
7 It is costly because the use of brick bats is
not allowed.
It is economical because brick bats are
allowed for forming this bind.
47. This bond is used for constructing one brick thick garden
walls, boundary walls, and other walls such as outer leaves
of cavity walls to provide good appearance.
Two types Flemish bond:-
(i) English garden wall bond
(ii) Flemish garden wall bond
5.GARDEN WALL BOND
48. (i) English garden wall bond:-
The garden wall bond in which a heading course is
provided after 3 or 5 stretching courses is called "English
Garden Wall Bond“.
49. (ii) Flemish garden wall bond:-
In this bond a header is provided after 3 or 5 stretches in
each course.
This bond is also known as “Sussex or Scotch Bond".
50. 6.RAKING BOND
It this type of bond alternate course are placed in
different directions to get maximum strength in the
wall.
Two types Flemish bond:-
(i) Herring wall bond
(ii) Diagonal wall bond
51. (i) Herring Bone Bond:-
The raking bond in which bricks are laid at an angle of 45
degree , starting at the central line and proceeding towards
the facing and backing of the wall, is called "Herring Bone
Bond“.
52. (ii) Diagonal Bond:-
The raking bond in which bricks are laid starting from
the corner in parallel rows inclined to the facing and
backing of the wall is known as "Diagonal bond".
53. 7.DUTCH BOND
This bond in which two stretchers and one header are laid
alternately in each course is called " Dutch Bond".
This bond is used in the construction of boundary walls.
54. COMPARISON BETWEEN BRICK MASONARY AND STONE
MASONARY
(1) Stone is stronger and more durable than brick and for
public buildings; it is decidedly more suitable than brick. It
reflects strength in every inch of it. It is in tune with
nature. Its color improves and looks more serene with age.
On the other hand, brick is an artificial product made as a
copy of stone. It is flimsy material and plastering is only a
camouflage for its defects.
55. (2) Stone is water proof. On the other hand, Brick
absorbs moisture and with dampness certain salts rise in
the walls from the ground and cause disintegration of
bricks.
Especially brick should not be allowed to come in contact
with urine or sewage and in such places it must always be
covered with cement plaster or any other protective coat.
(3) Brick offers greater facility for ornamental work in
plaster as a rough shape can first be given to it by means of
any tool. This is not so in case of stones.
(4) Plaster does not stick so well to stones as it does to
brick.
56. (5) On account of the regular shape and uniform size of brick,
a proper bond can be obtained with comparative ease.
(6) Due to the handy size of brick, brick masonary can be
more rapidly constructed than stone masonary.
(7) Brick wall requires a fixed quantity of mortar and
even with careless masons, the regular shape of the brick
considerably reduces the possibility of hollows being left in
the body of the wall. This is not so with some stone walls.
58. COMPOSITE WALL
When walls are constructed with two or more types building
materials, it is termed as composite masonary.
The composite masonary is adopted due to following
reasons:-
1. It reduces overall cost of construction.
2.It improves the appearance of the structure by
concealing the inferior work.
3.It makes the use of locally available materials, to
obtain optimum economy.
59. The usual combinations adopted to obtain
composite masonary can be listed as below:-
1.Stone Facing with brick backing.
2 Stone slab Facing with brick baking.
3.Brick Facing with concrete baking.
4.Ashler facing with brick backing.
5.Ashler facing with rubble backing.
63. CAVITY WALL
Cavity walls consist of two 'skins'
separated by a hollow space.
The skins are commonly masonary
such as brick or concrete block.
masonary is an absorbent material,
and therefore will slowly draw
rainwater or even humidity into the
wall.
The cavity serves as a way to drain
this water back out through weep
holes at the base of the wall system
or above windows, but is not
necessarily vented.
64. MAIN FUNCTIONS OF WALLS
1. Strength
2.Stability
3.Weather exclusion
4.Thermal Insulation
5.Sound Insulation
6.Durability
7.Fire resistance
8.Appearance
Part of a cavity wall with the
internal skin removed to
expose the Insulation.
65. CAVITY WALL INSULATORS :
Cavity wall insulation is
used to reduce heat loss
through a cavity wall by
filling the air space with
material that inhibits heat
transfer.
This is because up to 35%
of the heat loss from your
property is through the
walls.
66. Return corner of a cavity wall in stretcher bond including wall
ties and DPC
67.
68. ADVANTAGES OF CAVITY WALLS.
The moisture cannot enter from outer wall to inner wall ,
since there is no direct contact.
Provide good insulation against sound.
Protection against efflorescence.
Proves economical during construction.
Load on the foundation is reduced.
Reduction of heat transfer ,since air layer between leaves
acts as non-conductor of heat.
72. CLASSIFICATION OF LINTEL
Lintels are classified into the following types, according
to the materials of their construction:
1. Timber lintels
2. Stone lintels
3. Brick lintels
4. Reinforced Brick lintels
5. Steel lintels
6. Reinforced cement concrete lintels
73. 1.TIMBER LINTEL

TIMBER LINTEL
74. Used , where stones are easily
available.
Consists of a simple stone slab
of greater thickness.
Due to high cost and its
inability to with stand the
transverse stress load.
STONE LINTEL
2.STONE LINTEL
75. 3.BRICK LINTEL

78. 6.REINFORCED CEMENT CONCRETE LINTEL
Common in used.
They may be pre-cast .
For smaller span, the pre-
cast concrete lintels are
used.
Depth of lintel depend on
span.
R.C.C. LINTEL

wedge shaped block of stones
or bricks ,jointed together
with mortar and provided
across the opening to carry the
weight of the structure above
the opening.
82. CLASSIFICATION OF ARCHES
An arch may be classified according to their:
1)Material of construction and workmanship.
