Strength of brick masonry
For Brick Masonry the strength of the outcome of a particular Brick Masonry process anywhere in Arcadia, SC is determined and governed by several factors including the strength of the brick, composition of the mortar, brick uniformity and the method used in the laying and production of the brick among others. For wall construction bricks, the strength of the Brick Masonry unit itself is dictated by the ingredients that the brick is composed of and the method used in the manufacturing of the brick. The strength of the mortar used to bind the bricks together is the single major determinant of the strength of Brick Masonry. For a strong Brick Masonry unit, the mortar is required to be stronger than the brick itself thus a strong and compact layer.
The dimensions of the brick also matter significantly, for instance the small sized bricks are most efficient for the construction of brick pavements since the small sizes can bond in a stronger way to withstand the pressure of people walking on them.
