Synopsis The Modern Bricklayer - A Practical Work on Bricklaying in all its Branches - Volume III by : William Frost

Brickwork is a form of masonry that utilises bricks and mortar. Rows of bricks—or, 'courses'—are placed on top of each other in order to create a structure such as a wall. This is volume I of William Frost's “The Modern Bricklayer”, a detailed guide to all aspects of bricklaying, including slating, tiling, planning, materials, tools, and more. Contents include: “House Drains”, “Egg-Shaped and Circular Sewers”, “Sand Courses”, “Retaining Walls”, “Reinforced Brickwork”, “Arches”, “Cornices”, “Gauged Brickwork: Introduction”, “Gauged Work—Various Forms of Arches”, “Gauges Work—Arches”, “Gauged Work: Ninches, Panels, and Mouldings”, “Terra-cotta and Glazed Ware”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on DIY.

Synopsis Brickwork Level 3 by : Malcolm Thorpe

As part of their everyday work bricklayers must be able to interpret technical documents, understand the properties of various mortars/building materials, and understand the basics of health and safety on site. Brickwork Level 3 has been adapted from John Hodge's classic Brickwork for Apprentices - the established textbook on brickwork for generations of bricklayers. Now in full colour, this new book has been tailored to match Level 3 of both the Construction Alliance Awards Diplomas in Bricklaying and the Trowel Occupations NVQs. Written by Malcolm Thorpe, who acted as a CITB adviser and was involved in the draughting of the Intermediate Construction Award syllabus (bricklaying route), Brickwork Level 3 matches the latest industry-based requirements and technical developments in the field, including recent changes to the Building Regulations. This text will remain an essential reference for qualified bricklayers and other professionals working in the construction industry, as well as NVQ students wishing to embark on a career in bricklaying.

Synopsis Masonry, Bricklaying and Plastering by : Robert Scott Burn

Robert Scott Burn wrote this book in 1871 at a time of great developments in science, industry and exploration, and when materials for engineering and building were constantly being improved and replaced. It offers, therefore, a useful coverage of both traditional techniques and materials such as stone, brick and pise, but also examines the developments in the use of cement for wall covering as well as cement blocks to be used as artificial stone. This reprint of the original work contains over 400 pages of text dealing with materials, practical construction techniques, masonry and brickwork, principles of design, drawing, plastering and wall decoration, as well as many other aspects of construction. The 160 plates which accompany the text include a large number of drawings of different parts of buildings, including: window, door and wall details in various styles; arches; staircases; consoles and brackets in stone and terracotta; hollow and ornamental brickwork and designs of shop fronts.

Synopsis Brick in the Landscape by : Rob W. Sovinski

Backstein ist das am häufigsten eingesetzte Material in der Landschaftsgestaltung, z.B. in Form von Mauern, Treppenstufen und Fußwegen. Aufgrund seiner ungewöhnlichen Eigenschaften, ist es schwierig, genaue Angaben zu machen, insbesondere wenn das Material Wind und Wetter ausgesetzt ist. Bei korrekter Verarbeitung ist Backstein ein kostengünstiges und dauerhaftes Material, doch das Problem liegt in der korrekten Verarbeitung. Dieses erste Buch zum Thema gibt eine umfassende Beschreibung der Eigenschaften von Backstein, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf den Grundlagen und praktischen Informationen zur Verarbeitung liegt. Mit zahlreichen Illustrationen zu stabilen und ansprechenden Backsteinkonstruktionen. (y09/99)
