Function of Arches
• Compression stresses are distributed through arch
• Weight is diverted to abutments
• Some may require steel reinforcements
Brick Industry Association
Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. May not be posted to a publicly accessible website.
• Odd number of units are used so keystone falls at center of crown
• Arch voussoirs are usually in radial orientation• Different shapes and sizes of brick selected based on
arch type, dimension, and desired appearance
Arch Design

Arch Spans
• Short spans– Tapered brick is
recommended to avoid wide mortar joints at extrados
• Larger spans– Requires less taper of the
voussoirs– Formed with rectangular
brick and tapered mortar joints
– Mortar joint should be between 1/8″ and 3/4″
Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. May not be posted to a publicly accessible website.
• Dimension of arch at skewback that is perpendicular to arch axis, except in jack arches
• Depends on size and orientation of brick used• Usually a multiple of the brick’s width• Arch depth should increase with increasing arch span
Arch Depth
Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. May not be posted to a publicly accessible website.
• Two methods– Special shapes and uniform joint thickness– Units of uniform thickness with varying joint thickness
• All mortar joints must be completely filled

Centering for Arches
• Temporary shoring supports masonry
• Centering is usually made from wood
Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. May not be posted to a publicly accessible website.
Jack Arch Construction
• Supported by steel if opening is over 2′ wide
• Steel must be bent to the camber
• Each joint should be same width as entire length of joint
• End joints are horizontal to radius of arch
Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. May not be posted to a publicly accessible website.
Segmental Arch Construction
• Number of courses is determined by length of extrados
• Size of brick is determined by length of intrados
• Rise should be 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, or 1/12 of span

Window and Door Details
• Details are necessary for mason to plan ahead
• Relationships between head, jambs, and sill to masonry wall

prefabricated• Made of cut stone, brick,
concrete, or metal

Joints for Movement in Masonry
• Volume changes in masonry material result in movement
• Joints allow for movement to occur and to prevent cracks
• Types– Expansion joints– Control joints– Building expansion joints– Construction joints
Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. May not be posted to a publicly accessible website.
Expansion Joints
• Separate brick masonry into segments
• Prevent cracking due to changes in temperature, moisture expansion, elastic deformation, and creep
• Horizontal or vertical
• Located so as not to compromise structural integrity
Brick Industry Association
Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. May not be posted to a publicly accessible website.
• Creates a plane of weakness in concrete masonry to control location of cracks
• Vertical opening through concrete masonry wythe• Must be located so structural integrity of concrete
masonry is not affected
Control Joint
Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. May not be posted to a publicly accessible website.
• Divides building into separate sections so stresses developed in one section do not affect integrity of remainder of structure
• Through-the-building joint allows adjoining parts of building to move freely from one another
Building Expansion (Isolation) Joint
Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. May not be posted to a publicly accessible website.
• Used where masonry work is interrupted• Mason terminates work at a vertical plane and then
continues laying brick until that section of wall is complete
• Next section of wall begins at construction joint• Located where least likely to impair strength
Construction (Cold) Joint
Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. May not be posted to a publicly accessible website.
• Prevent cracks due to differences in expansion and contraction rates of materials
• Building paper or flashing separate two surfaces of masonry material
• Used between floor slabs and foundations• Allow each element to move somewhat independently
while providing support
Bond Breaks
Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. May not be posted to a publicly accessible website.
• Enclose a building• Provide attractive appearance• Large soffits requires expensive forming and shoring• Brick masonry soffit may be more efficient for small
soffit area• Usually reinforced and grouted
