This animation compares the wrong vs. right practices when constructing brick walls in framed column structures. Ensuring proper bonding between the column and brick masonry is essential for structural integrity and crack prevention.

Key Takeaways:

Wrong Practice:
Building the brick wall directly against the column without proper surface preparation.
Leads to poor bonding and cracks at the column-wall junction.

Right Practice:
Chipping the column surface before starting brick masonry to create a rough bonding surface.
Ensures better adhesion between the concrete column and brickwork, reducing the chances of cracks and separation.

Why is this important?
Prevents structural gaps that lead to water seepage and weakness in walls.
Enhances load transfer and stability in framed structures.
