When two walls meet at right angles, which of the following bonds is generally used to maintain structural strength?
-
A.
Flemish bond
-
B.
Header bond
-
C.
Stretcher bond
-
D.
English bond
Correct Answer:
D. English bond
Explanation:
The correct answer is English bond.
When two brick walls meet at a right angle, English bond is the most common choice for ensuring structural integrity. This technique alternates between a course of headers (bricks laid with their short ends facing out) and a course of stretchers (bricks laid with their long sides facing out). This specific arrangement creates a strong internal bond and effectively distributes loads, making it superior for strength compared to other patterns like the Flemish bond or the simple stretcher bond. Because of its durability and stability, it is standard practice in masonry for constructing robust corners and load-bearing walls.
