	Brickwork - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brickwork masonry is produced when a bricklayer uses bricks and mortar to build up structures such as walls, bridges and chimneys.
		Because only the outside of finished brickwork is visible, cheaper grades of brick are commonly used for the hidden parts of a wall.
		The thickness of brickwork is measured in units of brick.

	BRICKWORK - LoveToKnow Article on BRICKWORK
		In London and the surrounding counties, brickwork is measured by the rod of i64 ft. s-~uare, Il bricks in thickness.
		The strength of brickwork varies very considerably according to the kind of brick used, the position in which it is used, the kind and quality of the lime or cement mortar, and above all the Strength quality of the workmanship.
		Bond in brickwork is the arrangement by which the bricks of every course cover the joints of those in the course below it, and so tend to make the whole mass or combination of bricks act as much together, or as dependently one upon another,.Bo,i ding.

	Brickwork: The Historic Development - Gerard Lynch
		Brickwork was generally of a very high standard, in mainly Flemish bond although header bond was also popular in the early 18th century.
		In all matters of brickwork, the Victorian desire for enrichment was readily achieved by the use of often garish polychromatic work, and the lavishing of ornamentation by detailing mass produced purpose moulded 'specials' or by gauged brickwork.
		The introduction of hard mortars is one of the most common causes of failure in historic brickwork, leading to a failure of the mortar and of the brickwork itself.

	Brickwork Staining
		Water may collect in partially-filled joints either during construction when incomplete brickwork is inadequately protected or where the detailing in the completed building is exposed, such as in cills, copings, cappings or the faces of steps.
		Dampen the brickwork with clean water to prevent the cleaning agent from being drawn into the body of the brickwork where it may attack the mortar.
		Mortar stains on the face of brickwork are generally visible as smears or runs or, occasionally, as a "tidemark".

	Brickwork movement joints and foam sealing solutions
		Movement in brickwork structures is caused through thermal expansion and contraction, or through long-term moisture expansion.
		Moisture expansion in brickwork is caused by chemical reaction between water and the salts present in the fired clay.
		The spacing of structural joints in brickwork will vary, depending on the level of movement expected, but are typically positioned at 10 metre intervals.

	Brickwork Dimensions
		The horizontal brickwork dimension table is derived using the British Standard co-ordinating brick size of 225x 112.5x75mm i.e.
		The table of vertical brickwork coursing (Table 2) is based on the co-ordinating brick height of 75mm (65mm work size plus a 10mm bed joint).
		Brickwork is usually set out to the standard gauge, where 300mm is achieved over 4 courses.

	Brickwork 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Traditional thick-walled brickwork set in softer, flexible lime mortar, acts as a gasket between the bricks; the brickwork having an “overcoat” effect whereby the wall soaks in rainwater but then dries-out in subsequent dry spells.
		The reconstruction of the brickwork has created aesthetic problems with the selected new level, which it was deemed necessary to follow to resolve the structural concerns of the original brickwork.
		This has resulted in the new brickwork, constructed in a cement-based mortar, being significantly out of character and equilibrium with the original brickwork constucted in a traditional lime-based mortar, combined with the undoubted negative aesthetic considerations as detailed above; which is not a satisfactory outcome for the repair of this important listed building.

		There are two predominant forms of brickwork in the area: Georgian stock brickwork and late Victorian or Edwardian red brickwork, associated with the redevelopment of Southampton Street and the Piazza from time 1870s onwards.
		Indeed such brickwork was often artificially darkened by 'soot washing' in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
		It is easy to damage old brickwork by inappropriate pointing It is also important to use both a correct mortar mixture and the appropriate joint mortar used for repointing historic buildings should be based on lime rather than cement for practical as well as aesthetic reasons.

	Cleaning Historic Brickwork (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Brickwork is most often cleaned for purely aesthetic reasons, although there are sometimes practical reasons for removing dirt to expose cracks or open joints for repair.
		Whatever the reason for cleaning brickwork, a careful and considered approach is needed, as much damage can be caused through inappropriate methods and careless workmanship.
		The cleaning of brickwork should not be undertaken without good reason and generally should be avoided wherever possible.

	iafrica.com \| diy \| bright ideas Cleaning clay brickwork
		Efflorescence on exterior brickwork will be washed away in time by rain; hosing the brickwork will accelerate the removal of the soluble salts.
		If efflorescence persists, it indicates continuous migration of water through the brickwork (a design or construction failure) or that other sources of soluble salts are involved.
		Although unsightly, it is not detrimental to the brickwork and it normally weathers away in time.

		Where work to historic brickwork is being considered, the SPAB may be able to suggest the names of suitable contractors and professionals or advise on appropriate courses.
		Notwithstanding this, where a render has previously been stripped from brickwork it can, on occasions, be prudent to replace it to provide protection against the weather.
		The application of a new render or lead cladding to previously unprotected brickwork can also be sensible in certain circumstances, for example to protect the inside face of a parapet wall suffering from saturation.

	Ormonde Brick - Good Site Practice
		Prepare a solid base for the building of a reference panel where it can be viewed from 3 metres in an area with adequate light and can remain undamaged for the duration of the contract.
		Protect brickwork if frost is likely to occur before the mortar sets.
		Protect newly built brickwork from rain but ensure that an air space is maintained between the brick face and any waterproof covering to avoid risk of staining.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY STEPHANIE SOLLOW
		There is a point during "Brickwork Part VI - Ascend I" where Kristoffer Gildenlow's bass strings sound overly loose, but this is a minor flaw - a minor characteristic - when viewing the album as whole.
		It’s the piano that provides the bridge between "Brickwork Pt I (Leaving Entropia)" and "Brickwork Pt II (This Heart Of Mine)" (one of my favourites from Remedy Lane).
		"Brickwork Pt III - Song For The Innocent" seems on the verge of breaking loose, and then does, in a cascade of sound and impassioned vocals from Gildenlöw, becoming "Decend I" and "Leaving Entropia" in instrumental form again.

	Brickwork Conservation, building conservation, Stone Repair, and Lime Mortar/Plaster work by Andy Mann
		It is not porous, and retains moisture, which by the wetting and drying, freezing and thawing cycles of the weather, destroys brickwork, and the original lime mortar, causing it to crumble to dust!
		Over the years the ground subsided, causing the brickwork to crack and drop (as can be seen along the line of the original and repaired brickwork).
		I am also very keen to pass on my skills, and offer onsite training and advice in traditional brickwork repair and the use of lime mortars, various re-pointing methods including pennyroll, tuck, galleting, etc., and hope soon to be able to offer mortar analysis.

		The two principal patterns of brickwork are English bond in which alternate courses, or layers, are made up of stretchers or headers only, and Flemish bond in which stretchers and headers alternate within courses.
		Some evidence exists of the use of fired bricks in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, although the Romans were the first to make extensive use of this technology.
		In Britain, it was not until the 15th century that brickwork became common, largely through an influx of Flemish refugees.

		The jambs of the gate were largely replaced with nineteenth-century brickwork below spring level, however the upper few courses of the right hand reveal appear to be original.
		It was previously thought that this brickwork had survived in its original position.
		It seems likely that these sections of decorative brickwork (perhaps the best elements of the former gate) were carefully dismantled and saved during the construction of the new King's School building.

	Standardisation of Brickwork
		The project aim was to retain the flexibility and the aesthetic durability advantages of traditional brickwork, whilst increasing speed, reliability and efficiency of the construction process, resulting in the enhanced cost effective quality of the finished work.
		A single solution to standardisation was unlikely to be suitable for the whole range of brickwork schemes and two basic approaches to the incorporation of standardisation are being investigated.
		Case studies from Europe, USA and Austrailia are being used to provide evidence for analysis to establish knowledge and an understanding on the state of the art in the subject of brickwork standardisation.

		The few that existed were 9'' diameter, constructed of 4.5'' brickwork in lime mortar and called gun barrel drains.
		Some rain water sewers were constructed of hewn chalk with a slate bed and discharged directly on to the upper parts of the beaches.
		The resulting intercepting sewer is circular, made of brickwork, 5' diameter from Hove Street to East Street and 7' diameter thereafter to Portobello, a total of 7.25 miles.
