6.1. SETTING OUT

Survey the center line of brick wall according to the architectural construction
drawings and should be offset by installer.
Checking with door frame location was installed.
Set out the axes line, thickness, elevation level, embedded parts location and
transferred to the structural columns or beams and slabs with visible marks.

Drop plumb bob from concrete ceilling to base slab to determine vertical & horizontal
direction of brick wall to control verticality during build up brick laying.
6.2. SURFACE PREPARATION
Cleaning for RC slab surface shall be carried out before brick wall laying. The wall
base shall be free of dust and contaminant.

6.3. PANTING REBAR, STIFFENER, TIE BEAM & LINTEL BEAM

6.3.1. Planting Bar

Option 1: Planter bar to RC structure

The tie bar/dowel bar should be set to bond the brick wall with RC structure. For one
layer wall, single tie bar D6@ 600 should be planted on the RC structure. For double
wall, a couple of tie bars D6@ 600 should be planted on the RC structure.
The planting glue use Greco EP Putty or Hilti 500, the planting depth is Min. 12 D
(D is the diameter of the tie bar). And the tie bar should anchor into the brick wall by
Min. 500mm in length. The tie bar should also be arranged between the stiffener and
brick wall but length anchor can be shorter 500mm (Min .200mm)

Option 2: Use steel sheet plate (Ties plate)

Use steel ties plate/sheet plate thickness 0.12mm, width 12.7mm fixed to RC
structure by steel screw space 600mm.

6.3.2. Stiffener Column

When the distance between two RC columns or walls is more than 4.0m, in which
brick wall is built as partition, stiffener is needed at every 4.0m. Stiffener width should
be same to wall thickness. Reinforcement of stiffener for brick wall 100 & 200
thickness is shown as below. The main reinforcement of the stiffener should be
planted into the RC beam/slab by 100mm in depth to ensure sufficient bonding
strength. Rebar for stiffener refer table for half & one brick wall.

6.3.3. Tie Beam

If the brick wall height is higher than 4.5m, tie beam should be set to enhance the
integrity of brick-wall, and the position shall be in middle of height or at every 4.5m
from the bottom of brick wall and the main bars shall be planted in RC structure with
100mm anchorage length to ensure sufficient bonding strength.

6.3.4. Lintel Beam

Lintel beam for door is installed when laying brick wall up to above door frame anchor
to brick wall Min. 150mm (beside horizon frame).
Option 1: RC lintel beam (Concrete)
The detail for RC lintel beam follow structural drawing is show as follow below:

Detail for RC lintel beam

The concrete grade for stiffener, tie beam and lintel beam should be G30. Can be mix
on site comply specification during brick works without cube test.

6.4. MORTAR MIXING

Mortar shall be mixed in accordance with mix proportion (cement/sand = 1:6). Fully
mix the cement and sand, and then add water and mix them for no less than 2
minutes.
Material preparation for mortar mixing shall be arranged in batches. Constant
material feeding is not allowed. Mortar for masonry shall be mixed well with proper
density.
Mortar shall be used promptly within 2-3 hours after mixing.
6.5. BRICK LAYING
The dimension, strength, and the types of the bricks shall comply with the design and
specifications. The bricks shall be wetted before using.
Brick wall laying shall be carried out with one side plumb line, in accordance with
elevation control line and verticality control line.
The exmet (wire mesh between 2 layers of brick) shall be install with space 4 layers
bricks put 1 layer exmet and the first exmet put at second layer brick from surface
slab (floor level).
Every bottom layer of brick need to put Damp Proof Course (DPC) for horizontal
damp proof course.

Masonry joint of any two layers of brick shall be staggered and pavement length of
mortar no more than 500mm. Mortar joint shall be filled densely and bound tightly.

Bricks shall be well wetted before being laid and if the course last laid has become
dried, it is to be wetted before bedding fresh bricks upon it. The walls are to be
carried up evenly in truly horizontal courses so that no one portion is raised more
than 1.00m above another at any one time. Division walls and partitions are to be
properly bonded to main walls. All propounds are to be strictly true and square and
the whole properly bonded together. No closes or bats are to be used except where
necessary for bonding purposes. One brick thick and over shall be built in bond
unless otherwise specified. With one brick thick 200-250 (included plaster) used

Connection between 2 layer brick wall (double)

The seams of laid bricks shall be straight and smooth. The thick of seam shall be with
minimum 6mm and maximum 10mm. The horizontal seam shall be filled at least 80%
of the full depth. The vertical seam shall be continuously without any gaps. It is not
permitted to water the dry cement after spreading. Test laying segment shall be
made before formally building. The mortar shall plaster on bricks before placing to
