So let’s start with the first step and that is Masonry work. During the process of masonry work we have to follow some rules that will lend us to good construction practices.

Masonry work is important to prevent cracks and damage. It is constructed in a constant level throughout that it won’t affect foundation settlement due to different loads. To start masonry work it is preferable to have a set up properly like lines and levels. For more particular results concrete bricks will be recommended instead clay bricks. If pleasant look needed then situation will be predefined for bricks. Before using bricks should be cleaned. It is important to protect this construction from rain, frost or any other vibrations to prevent from damaging.

Mortar strength must be correlated with the strength of the bricks. If it’s not that will create cracks if any movement starts in mortar. Curing process should be carried out for at least 7 to 10 days.

It is strengthen with help of footing, lintel, shelf angles, wind posts, special anchors. All of them are installed as per requirement and specification.

It is recommended that any masonry work on RCC slab beam and column it keeps in mind that it should be carried out at least after 2 weeks from shuttering.

The ancient bricks size was 4:2:1 to length, width and depth respectively in earlier days and it is same for now a days also.
