Answer / vigneshwaran s

English bond is, upon the whole, to be preferred to Flemish bond for strength, as it contains a larger proportion of headers. The only advantage claimed for Flemish bond is its appearance, which is preferred by many, and has led to its use in brick buildings of a superior class.

In 9-inch walls a better face can be shown on both sides by Flemish than by English bond, as the unequal length of headers causes a rough face when there are many of them.

In walls of 1 1/2 brick in thickness the strength is not so much impaired by using Flemish bond, as it is in thicker walls.

Though conventionally English Bond was advocated as superior, modern earth quake resistant techniques like confined masonry prefer flemish to english as the number and thickness of joints are more regular in flemish. (Refer IIT K website, esp. the book of Tom Schacher)
