For this reason this bond is sometimes known as cavity wall bond.
These bonds are variations on normal bonds which require fewer bricks and are thus less sturdy than the normal bonds.

 Bond (masonry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For this reason this bond is sometimes known as cavity wall bond, although it is possible to give the appearance of other bonds in a half-brick cavity wall, either through extensive brick-cutting or the use of purpose-made half-bricks.
Flemish Bond has historically always been considered the most decorative bond, and for this reason was used extensively for dwellings until the adoption of the cavity wall.
Monk Bond is a variant of Flemish Bond, with two stretchers between the headers in each row, and the headers centred over the join between the two stretchers in the row below.

 Brickwork - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Types of bond include English, Flemish, and Herringbone, but the most common type of brickwork seen these days is the simple stretcher bond, showing only the long side-surface of the brick.
This bond is weaker than the english bond, yet it is still used uptill now, only it is not prefered to be.
English bond consists of alternating courses of headers and stretchers, with the alternative headers centred over and under the vertical joints of the stretchers.

 Masonry -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Masonry is the building of structures from individual units laid in and bound together by mortar.
Solid brick masonry is made of two or more layers of bricks with the bricks running longitudinally (called "stretcher" bricks) bound together with bricks running transverse to the wall (called "header" bricks).
The strength of a masonry wall is not entirely dependent on the bond between the building material and the mortar; the friction between the interlocking blocks of masonry is often strong enough to provide a great deal of strength on its own.

Masonry mortar is composed of one or more cementitious materials, clean, well-graded masonry sand, and sufficient water to produce a plastic, workable mixture.
A mortar that has good water retentivity remains soft and plastic long enough for the masonry units to be carefully aligned, leveled, plumbed, and adjusted to proper line without danger of breaking the intimate contact or bond between the mortar and the units.
Bond is low on smooth, molded surfaces, such as glass or die skin surfaces of clay brick or tile.

Grout is a high slump mixture used to fill cells of masonry units or between wythes of masonry to resist stresses and develop bond with reinforcement.
Type M mortar is recommended for use in masonry in contact with earth such as foundations, retaining walls, paving, sewers and manholes, and in reinforced masonry.

 The Design of Reinforced Masonry and Precast Concrete Lintels - An Online Course for Engineers and Architects
Typically lintels for concrete masonry walls are constructed of either masonry bond beams or precast concrete beams.
Masonry bond beams are constructed of unit masonry blocks in the field.
In either case, bond beam and precast lintels have the advantage over steel lintels in that they do not have to be fireproofed for load bearing walls and can typically be installed by the same contractor responsible for the construction of the wall.

 Masonry Construction: Wire-bond - Flashings
Copper Aqua-Flash is a composite flexible flashing with a layer of polyester film bonded to a solid sheet of soft-tempered copper bonded to 32 mils of a highly adhesive SBS-modified bitumen (rubberized asphalt) with a removable silicone-coated liner.
By encapsulating the copper in the film and the rubberized asphalt, the copper is completely protected from any alkalis or acids found in concrete or mortar.
The flashing consists of 2- or 3-ounce copper sheet laminated with film on one side (and bonded to the bitumen) for a total thickness of 60 mils and 70 mils (respectively), and is designed to "self-heal" if damaged slightly during installation since the adhesive system elongates and recovers.
