2. Bond In Brickwork
Brick bond
Bonding in brickwork in an arrangement of bricks, usually overlapping
between courses in order to distribute load and provide stability. Bonding
can also be used for decorative purposes. In general brickwork should not
be less than quarter bonded.

Stretcher Bond
Header Bond
English Bond
Flemish Bond
Different Types Of Bonds
There are a variety of bonds used for different types of works :

4. Stretcher
A brick which is laid in a way that
allows only the longer side of the brick
to be exposed.
Header
A brick which is laid in a way that
only the short end is visible in the wall.
Queen Closer
A brick of half the usual length, for
completing a course or for spacing
regular bricks.

5. Stretcher Bond
In this type of bond all the bricks are laid with their lengths in the direction of
the wall. This pattern is used only for walls having thickness of half brick i.e. 9 cm.
e.g. walls in case of framed structure construction.

7. Header Bond
In this type of bond all the bricks are laid with their ends towards the face of
the wall.
This type of arrangement is suitable for walls which are one brick thick. This is
suitable for walls of lightly loaded load bearing structure.

9. English Bond
This is most common and popular bond and is used for wall thickness ranging
from 20 cm. and above. It consist of equal balancing of headers and stretchers in the
wall, that is headers and stretchers are arranged in alternate courses.
English bond constructed requires the following points to be kept in view :
a) A queen closer must be provided after the quoin header. A header course
should never start with a queen closer.
b) Continuous vertical joints should not be allowed.
c) The joints in the header course should be made thinner than those in the
stretcher course. This is because of the fact that the number of vertical joints in
the header course.
d) In the stretcher course, the stretchers should have a minimum lap of (1/4)th
their length over the headers.
