Hi.

I am an architect and I’d like to hear your advise. Can this type of brick bond be used for a load bearing wall? I think that this zigzag form makes the wall stronger, but will it be enough? I am talking about a two story building with a maximum height 7 meters. the grid is 3.60 m X 4.00 m.

    This type means which type of brick bond are you asking about? Your question is incomplete.

    Be precise about your question. Not able to understand

    This answer was edited.

    In masonary work, we used usually 1:4 cement-sand mortar of compressive strength 3.8N/mm2.


    The compressive strength of one brick of standard size is 11.12N/mm2.


    The compressive strength of brick masonry is 2.5 N/mm2.


     Thanks.
