6.Facingbond:
This arrangement of bricks is adopted for thick walls, where the facing and backing are desired to be
constructed with bricks of different thickness. This bond consists of heading and stretching courses so
arranged that one heading course comes after several stretching courses. Since the number of joints in the
backing and the facing differ greatly, the load distribution is not uniform. This may sometimes lead to
unequalsettlementofthetwothicknessofthewall.
7.Rakingbond:
This is a bond in brick work in which the bonding bricks are laid at any angle other than zero or ninety
degrees.ThisarrangementhelpstoincreasethelongitudinalstabilityofthickwallsbuiltinEnglishbond.In
