Domestic Exterior Wall
Functional Requirements of Exterior Wall:
- Strength and Stability
- Resistance to weather and ground moisture
- Durability
- Fire Safety
- Resistance to airborne and impact sound
- Security
- Aesthetics
, Construction Forms & Methods:
- Masonry (solid & cavity)
- Framed Panels (timber)
- Solid/Monolithic
Types of Brick Joints:
Standard Brick size:
215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm
Weathered joints:
Promotes run-off of water & protects the
brick
Recessed joints:
Edge of bricks become vulnerable to frost & build-
up of rainwater/snow
Types of Brick Bonds:
1) Stretcher Bond
2) Flemish Bond
