When two walls meet at right angles, which of the following bonds is generally used to maintain structural strength?

Explanation:

English bond

• When two walls meet at right angles, the English bond is commonly used to ensure structural strength.
• This bond alternates between a course of headers (short sides of bricks) and a course of stretchers (long sides of bricks), which provides strong interlocking between the two walls and enhances their stability.

Additional Information

Flemish bond

• Used primarily for decorative purposes, where each course alternates between headers and stretchers. It is not typically used for walls meeting at right angles.

Header bond

• This bond uses headers (short sides of bricks) at the joint, and while effective for strength, it is less common than English bond for walls at right angles.

Stretcher bond

• Uses only stretchers (long sides of bricks) and is generally used for single brick walls, but it does not provide sufficient interlocking strength for walls meeting at right angles.
