Modern Masonry provides a thorough grounding in safe methods of laying brick, block, and stone, as well as a broad understanding of materials and their properties. Simply and clearly written, the text covers the important aspects of the masonry trade including tools and equipment; safety; the makeup, properties, uses, and sizes of every type of masonry unit; accepted techniques for laying all kinds of masonry units in all kinds of bonds; construction details for masonry walls, foundations, pavement, steps, garden walls, and masonry arches; and over 75 procedures for laying brick, block, and stone.-- Provides information on the newest materials and building techniques used in the industry, as well as the latest standards.-- Covers entire masonry systems such as walls, floors, and foundations.-- Full color throughout with numerous illustrations to enhance student understanding.-- Material is organized into functional units closely aligned with the needs of an apprenticeship training program, community college program, or other instructional setting.-- Reference section includes more than 30 useful charts and drawings.-- Offers step-by-step procedures for masonry techniques.-- Includes end-of-chapter review questions.
Masonry walls constitute the interface between the building's interior and the outdoor environment. Masonry walls are traditionally composed of fired-clay bricks (solid or perforated) or blocks (concrete or earth-based), but in the past (and even in the present) they were often associated as needing an extra special thermal and acoustical insulation layer. However, over more recent years investigations on thermal and acoustical features has led to the development of new improved bricks and blocks that no longer need these insulation layers. Traditional masonry units (fired-clay bricks, concrete or earth-based blocks) that don't offer improved performance in terms of thermal and acoustical insulation are a symbol of a low-technology past, that are far removed from the demands of sustainable construction.This book provides an up-to-date state-of-the-art review on the eco-efficiency of masonry units, particular emphasis is placed on the design, properties, performance, durability and LCA of these materials. Since masonry units are also an excellent way to reuse bulk industrial waste the book will be important in the context of the Revised Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC which states that the minimum reuse and recycling targets for construction and demolition waste (CDW) should be at least 70% by 2020. On the 9th of March 2011 the European Union approved the Regulation (EU) 305/2011, known as the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and it will be enforced after the 1st of July 2013. The future commercialization of construction materials in Europe makes their environmental assessment mandatory meaning that more information related to the environmental performance of building materials is much needed. - Provides an authoritative guide to the eco-efficiency of masonry units - Examines the reuse of waste materials - Covers a range of materials including, clay, cement, earth and pumice
Brick and Block Masonry - From Historical to Sustainable Masonry contains the keynote and semi-keynote lectures and all accepted regular papers presented online during the 17th International Brick and Block Masonry Conference IB2MaC (Kraków, Poland, July 5-8, 2020). Masonry is one of the oldest structures, with more than 6,000 years of history. However, it is still one of the most popular and traditional building materials, showing new and more attractive features and uses. Modern masonry, based on new and modified traditional materials and solutions, offers a higher quality of life, energy savings and more sustainable development. Hence, masonry became a more environmentally friendly building structure. Brick and Block Masonry - From Historical to Sustainable Masonry focuses on historical, current and new ideas related to masonry development, and will provide a very good platform for sharing knowledge and experiences, and for learning about new materials and technologies related to masonry structures. The book will be a valuable compendium of knowledge for researchers, representatives of industry and building management, for curators and conservators of monuments, and for students.
-- Includes instructions for building popular masonry projects, such as barbecues, patios and retaining walls. -- Step-by-step instructions accompanied by color photos.
This text consists of proceedings of the Eighth International Brick and Block Masonry Conference, held in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, 19-21 September 1988.
Here is the revised edition of this popular, practical manual with updated information on everything from on-site preplanning and layout through the construction of footings, foundations, walls, fireplaces, and chimneys. Plus, the book covers improved estimating techniques to help readers win more construction bids and pocket a healthy profit every time. The ideal reference for busy masonry contractors.
This best practice guide to using hydraulic lime mortar is the result of a research project by the UK Limes team which studied the performance application and classification of hydraulic limes for the construction industry. It will prove invaluable for all building practitioners, contractors and tradesmen specifying or handling hydraulic lime on site. Containing many useful tables and charts to assist the practitioner, along with colour illustrations showing lime mortar in use, it also offers practical guidance on: the functions and properties of hydraulic lime; the constituent materials; mixing, reworking, protection and aftercare; and, mortar selection for durability, and health and safety issues
Step-by-step illustrations guide you every step of the way, from building a brick garden wall to casting concrete walkways, laying a stone patio to repairing mortar.
