What reading level is A Manual of Civil Engineering book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
166. Sometimes the courses of headers and stretchers occur alternately ; sometimes there is only one course of headers for every two, three, or four courses of stretchers.
The stretchers tie the wall together lengthwise, the headers cross- wise. The proportionate numbers of the courses of headers and stretchers should depend on the relative importance of transverse and longitudinal tenacity. {A. M., 202.) The proportion shown iu fig. 166, of one course of headers to two of stretchers, is that w...hich gives equal tenacity to the wall lengthwise and crosswise, and which therefore may be considered the best in ordinary cases.
In a factory chimney, the lougitudinal tenacity, which resists any force tending to split the chimney, is of more importance than the transverse tenacity; therefore, in these buildings, it is advisable to have a greater proportion of stretchers, such as three or four courses of stretchers to one course of headers.
In building brickwork in English Bond, it is to be borne in mind that there are twice as many vertical or side-joints in a course of headers as there are in a course of stretchers; and, there- fore, that unless great care is taken in laying the headers to make these joints very thin, two headers will occupy a little more length than one stretcher, and the correct breaking of the joiuts, to the extent of exactly a quarter of a brick, will be lost This is often the case in carelessly built brickwork, in which at intervals vertical joints are seen nearly or exactly above each other in successive courses.
