Landscape bricks have a wide range of applications in our daily lives, with a variety of colors. One of the major advantages of this building material is its ability to decorate the landscape, which places certain requirements on its construction. This has a direct impact on its appearance and effectiveness. Let's take a closer look at its construction points:
1. Before masonry, the bricks should be watered, usually two days in advance, so that the surface of the landscape bricks is both moist and free of floating water.
2. When carrying out construction on rainy days, it is important to note that: (1) masonry cannot be carried out on rainy days, as the bricks and masonry will be soaked by rain, which will affect the bonding strength between mortar and autoclaved sand and mortar bricks, and even cause the collapse of the masonry; If it rains during masonry, cover the newly built masonry to prevent it from getting wet.
3. To prevent loosening. Newly built masonry should be properly protected within 7 days to avoid collisions and prevent mortar and bricks from loosening. Firstly, if the masonry is found to be skewed or uneven during construction, it should be dismantled and rebuilt. It is important not to strike the masonry to correct it, as this will affect the bond between the landscape bricks and mortar. Secondly, when it is dry at high temperature, a small amount of clean water can be sprayed on the masonry on the second day of masonry to slow down the drying of masonry, improve the strength of mortar and bond fastness with sintered ordinary bricks.
4. When building taller and longer walls, it is generally necessary to set up structural columns at the middle part when the length of the wall is greater than 5m; When the height of the wall is higher than 4m, a horizontal tie beam should be added at half the height of the wall, and both ends of the horizontal tie beam should be connected to the column, or a horizontal beam should be added at the top of the door (not greater than 4m).
Through the above introduction to the details of landscape brick construction, I believe everyone has gained a certain understanding and knowledge of its construction. In order to fully utilize the performance of building materials, attention should be paid to preventing them from getting wet, loosening, etc. I hope the above content can be helpful to everyone.
