Brickwork in foundation and superstructure not in contact with water shall be provided with 19 mm and 12-mm. thick plaster at inside and outside faces respectively. Cement and sand material ratio shall be 1:6 for structures not in contact with water and 1:4 with 20 mm. thick plaster cement punning in the waterside face and 12 mm. thick plastering prop at the other face shall be provided all courses unless other wise specified or ordered by the Engineer, shall be truly horizontal and the walls shall be taken up truly plumb. Mortar joints shall never exceed 10 mm in thickness and this thickness shall be uniform throughout. Vertical joints in alternate courses shall come directly over one another.

Closers shall be clean out to size an indicated in English bond and shall be situated near the end of walls. The masonry shall be carried up regularly and no step shall be allowed more than 60cm. where the masonry of one part has to be delayed, the work must be raked back at an angle not exceeding 45º Angles and Junctions. At all angles forming the junction of walls, the brick shall at each alternate course be carried into their respective walls so as to thoroughly unite the work with English bond. Care shall be taken that when a brick is left out to allow support for the scaffold pole on the wall face, such brick shall always be a header and that not more than one header for each pole shall be left out.

Its inside faces shall be buttered with mortar before the next brick is laid and pressed against it. On completion of a course all vertical joints shall be fully filled from the top with mortar. The walls of the structure shall be raised truly to plumb. All courses shall be laid truly horizontal and the walls all vertical joints shall be taken up truly plumbvertical. Mortar joints shall never exceed 10 mm in thickness and this thickness shall be uniform throughout. Vertical All vertical joints in alternate courses shall come directly over one anotherthe other. The joints thickness of the brick courses shall be racked out not less than 12mm deep when the mortar is green so as to provide proper key kept uniform and for the plaster or pointing to be done. Each face brick this purpose wooden straight edge with graduations indicating thickness of each course including joint shall be set with both bed used. The height of window ▇▇▇▇▇, bottom of lintels and vertical joints quite full of motor. No damaged or broken brick other such important points in the walls shall be used marked on the graduated straight edge. The wall faces front and back, more than one brick thick shall be kept in any part proper plane. All the connected brick work shall be more than one meter below the rest of the work except such as may be cut to size for closing work. In the course.
