for brickmasonry strengthwise which bond is better?

Answer Posted / mitesh patel

Raking bond: In this type of bond alternate courses are
placed in different directions to get maximum strength in
the wall. The racking courses are laid to certain interval
along the height of the wall in very thick wall having
number of headers more than the no. of stretchers between
the facing and backing. Thus the raking course rectifies the
defect of low longitudinal, stiffness in thick wall
