BOND PATTERNS IN BRICKWORK

摘要

When the vertical joints between bricks in the face of the brickwork do not align in adjacent courses, this known as "bonding". Bonded brickwork dimensioned and built to a regularised system creates a neat appearance and minimises the need to cut bricks; it also promotes the even distribution of forces applied to the brickwork by floors, beams, roofs, and so on.
