Brickwork

Brick masonry has been a leader in the building environment and used with this material for many years. Numerous positive properties of bricks with an abundance of all kinds of its laying allowed not only to strengthen and make buildings of both residential and public type more comfortable, but also to increase their fireproof, waterproofing, moisture-proof and heat-insulating signs that determine the long-term use of such buildings. And also it became possible to maximize the service life of buildings and buildings made of bricks due to its non-adherence to rotting, insects ( brick masonry of walls differs from the use of wood) and resistance to climatic features of various regions.

The process of laying is rather complicated and depends on many factors in the field of which it is applied, so brickwork requires the hand of the master. Only a person with education and experience will be able to identify the most optimal version of the dressing system, the selection of the tools and fixtures needed in this case, the methods and the necessary layout of the brickwork. All this in the aggregate and will affect the quality of the result obtained. Let us consider in more detail the methods and methods of brickwork of walls and other structures.

Instruments.

Brick masonry consists of a number of working operations, each of which requires the use of a certain tool. Such devices are allocated a few - a trowel, a plumb, a hammer-pick, a building level, a swab, a screed and a shovel.

With the help of trowel work with a solution - leveling, filling of seams and cleaning of excess weight of a solution. The plumb is adapted to check and align the vertical position of the walls, wall openings, pillars and masonry angle. A hammer-pick is used for cutting bricks. The construction level reveals shortcomings in the laying of horizontal and vertical structures. The swab is designed for smoothing the seams and filling them with mortar, as well as for cleaning the ventilation ducts from the excess mass of solution released from the seams. The screed is used to make the seams of convex or concave shapes.

Ways of laying.

There are three main methods of brickwork in construction - stepwise, orderly and mixed.

With the step-by-step method, the first-row bumpy vertexes with outer spoon-lengths are drawn, beginning with the second row and ending with the sixth. This method is used mainly for multi-row dressing, and the maximum height achieved by such a sequence is six rows.

The order method is simple, but it takes a lot of working time, as it is based on laying rows with alternating laying of versts and wobbles of the previous row. Ordinary method of laying is used for a single-row dressing system.

The mixed method, as well as stepwise, is used for multi-row dressing. In this case, the order method is used in the construction of the first seven to ten rows, and then proceed to the masonry in a stepwise fashion.

When constructing pillars, wells, piers, walls with niches, doors or canals, one of the best ways of erecting them is brickwork. SNiP (rules and norms for the production of material, as well as their application in the work) determines a number of stringent conditions, oriented to the maximum quality of the constructed structure - the thickness of the masonry, the permissible deviations during its erection, etc. That is why, if there is a need, it is best to use the services of professional masters who, taking into account the standards of state standards, will take all the trouble of building themselves.
