Presented in a straightforward and highly readable style, these two
volumes offer an in-depth guide to all aspects of brickwork and
bricklaying practice. Gerard Lynch has put together these
comprehensive and instructive volumes linking past knowledge and
practices with modern skills and materials, so that both can be
fully examined and understood. Volume 1 begins with a background to
the historical development of the brick, the craft of bricklaying
and of brickwork from the 13th century to the present day. It then
goes on to describe the modern manufacture of bricks along with
their properties and classification. The book also includes
chapters on mortars, tools and accessories and an explanation of
bricklaying skills and comprehensive coverage of the techniques of
bonding and its applications. Volume 2 examines the elements of
building construction in brick. Chapter one studies the setting out
of a small building and then progresses to foundations, examining
the historical as well as current practices. The following five
chapters cover both the contemporary and traditional aspects of
substructure brickwork; basements; sleeper walls; damp proof
courses; and, cavity walling and jointing and pointing. The volume
concludes with useful advice on achieving controlled and efficient
bricklaying.
